Bees!
I stepped outside this morning to admire the growing thunderhead over yonder mountains, and instead found myself in a buzzing swarm of honeybees. Apparently Scout reported back to Queen Bee that our deck would be a beautiful location for their new hive. I've never seen anything like this before, where the hive literally flew as one unit in a mass migration to a new home.

Ultimately we'll probably need to call a bee relocation company, but for now I'm happy to share our deck with our new insect friends.
