Ok, now that I have your attention....I was so happy to see honey bees this Spring, but now I am getting concerned, and I need some advice. Are there any honey bee experts out there that can assist? We have a flower bed area that has been wading in water from all the rain, and it looks as though it has finally drained, (this has been work in progress btw) but I noticed honey bees on the ground all over the place. What started out as oh cool!! Has now turned into a swarm of them, and I can hardly get over there to water my plants that are in pots there. They come after me, and I have always been frightened of bees to start with, but have been trying to learn to be calm around them and let them fly by, but these guys are an army now, and it's scaring me badly. Any idea why they are doing what they are, and what I need to do now to make them go fly off and pollinate the other beds? They only gather right in this one bed that has been flooded with all the rain we've had. Like I said (work in progress) we are wanting to start some sort of drainage, but until I can get these guys to move along lil doggy, I can't begin the job. Very frustrated!!
