Great spotting I am sorry but i am not able to identify it besides it being a yellow diurnal butterfly
Your welcome it is my favorite site about bees
here we only have European/ Italian / German
Archer 07 that is not a honey bee hive it is called a swarm. when a bee population gets to big for the hive to support it they produce a second queen. the older queen has to then leave so it does not get stung to death by the younger stronger one. 1/2 the bees go with the older queen re balancing the population.
The swarm is temporarily there until the find a new place to build a hive.
It looks like a Beauty berry
