Irish daily mirror newspaper showing swarms on shop windows, all over cars and terrified by standers in parts of England today.
Was there anything on the news or did anyone hear anything about it.
They said tomorrow could be worse as temps rise higher.

Swarms of swarm threads.

Celebrate (danger is prematurely, I suppose) the return of the honeybee. If it continues, the brave thing to do is to treat varroa less aggressively (this has already happened this year inadvertently: see FERA email) and lose a few colonies if swarms start to become better able to replace them. That will let the co-evolution continue.
