thanks, Bob - nope, these are plain old American honey bees that have swarmed while their scout bees are out hunting for a new location for the queen and her group

Nice shot and very interesting to think about, hope you had a strong zoom lens!

thanks Ken- no, I was on a ladder very near the swarm, and though a few buzzed around there was no stinging, and they all appear to be concentrating inwardly rather than toward me
