Have you found a Swarm of Honey Bees?

Honey Bee swarm in treeHoney Bees swarm naturally.  It is their way or making new colonies.

When they leave the beehive,  they settle in a tree or on the side of a wall.   They can stay there for up to 2 or 3 days while they look for a new home.

The swam will be as large as a football or even bigger and Swarm of bees on a wallwill contain may thousands of bees.

Swarms are not dangerous but you should keep children away until a beekeeper arrives to take them away
