Very nice swarm Dennis.

Taking care of honey bees is not that much work really.
You might spend 40 hours per season caring for them and that includes observing them. Which you are already doing.
Some websites will make it seem like a lot of work but the bees pretty much take care of theirselves. You just need to help them if a problem shows up.

The most labor intensive part of beekeeping is harvesting the honey and you can skip that part if you wish.
