Today I observed something which I've never seen before and not expected. Last night I noticed a small swarm in a neighbor's Bottle Brush bush.
I intended to collect the swarm this morning since it was to cold last night, even in San Diego, since it is the beginning of January. When I took a look this morning I found that the swarm had left, but a few bees remained, either they were out scouting when the missing bees departed or were too cold to follow.
Some of the remaining bees were doing a waggle dance on the branch!
I've never seen this before, has anyone else, maybe I've just not taken the time to look?
