Was on my way over to stand at the fence and have a look at the bees when I heard someone shout that they were at it again.
Huge cloud of swirly bees, settled in the hedge by the time I'd collected my stuff together and by then they were up in the air again.
Some seem to have congregated under a hive but all have dispersed apart from a few underneath. There is no obvious clump of bees under the hive (We lay on the floor and looked) so not sure where a queen is if there was one with them.
Sounds like the swarm may have gone and all you have are the residual bees that got left behind. I quite often get called out for that only to find a tennis ball size clump.
