After a month of continuous work the bees who separated from the main hive constructed a modest hive in the Avocado Tree behind the house.
Today blustery winds undid all their efforts in a split second.
I found the comb laying on the ground with a few bees crushed beneath it and a few bees beginning to salvage what honey they could.
The swarm quickly regrouped around their queen before disappearing to an unknown location.
They are friendly swarm and seem not to be to interested in much more than making wax combs, producing honey and raising the next generation.
