You Gotta See the Bees (Video)

This has nothing to do with anything technical but it’s definitely worth blogging. Our next door neighbors have a huge oak tree (I think it’s an oak) in their front yard. A few weeks ago we noticed some people looking up into it, pointing, and talking. I thought there were possibly owls, talking monkeys, or tree gnomes living in it. It turns out there’s this huge bee hive with probably a thousand bees living in it.

I don’t really know much about bee hives but it appears to be inside the tree. The bees are just stuck to the tree and it looks like they’re gnawing away at it. They cover about a two square foot area around a hole in the tree and it looks like this part of the tree is moving. They’re not really swarming around the tree as much as they’re just moving around the hole in the tree. Every now and then a bee leaves and comes back. I have no clue what they’re doing but I think it’s time to call a beekeeper!
