Live! The Swarm! On Video!

I guess video isn't really live, but these days it's pretty close. I was so blown away by seeing my first swarm (nearly a month ago today) that I kind of flipped out and started repeating myself (and talkin' a bit like a Beverly Hillbilly), but I'm sure you'll overlook that and focus on the truly amazing phenomenon at hand. Enjoy!


After a few intense minutes of flying through the air with the greatest of ease (even in a very high wind), the swarm alights on a small sumac, where it clusters around its queen.
