A sight to see...
During a walk around St. Mary's Lake this odd sight was spotted in the trees. What was it? Thanks to Fr. Terry Ehrman, C.S.C., theologian and naturalist, was able to explain what was seen. Well, what was it? A good old fashion swarm. Apparently, when a hive becomes too small or is damaged, the queen bee leaves and in her wake her subjects follow. Wherever she lands, she is immediately swarmed by her drones and a new hive may be started. While a new hive was not created this tree around St. Mary's, it was quite the sight. On this swarm, Ehrman, "It's a sight to see, but it is advisable to keep your distance."
... a lot of moving bees.
