Apis mellifera
The honey bee swarm arrived in November 2016. It took over our Screech Owl nesting box. We were hoping they would "buzz off" and find a better home - it is February 22, 2017. They are still here! I think they like this home! We are searching for a beekeeper to come and take the bees away as our grand child is allergic to honey bee stings.
"Florida Yard" and Butterfly Garden, which contains many different blooming trees, shrubs, and flowers, as well as a nature preserve within 500 feet of the nesting box.
So far the honeybees have not been aggressive, but I have been very careful not to spend too much time in the vicinity of the bee hive, and I have warmed others of the beehive presence.
