Bee swarm right now at the Luxor pool… anyone know a bee keeper!?

I’m just visiting but it just appeared five minutes ago. The pool staff has no clue what to do. If anyone wants to get in touch with the pool staff I’ll hook you up with them. Here all day. Free bees?

Excuse me. EXCUSE ME. This is a family garden. Bee season is officially open. 😅

Kentucky, US. Identification help (More pics/info below).

Hi everyone, just curious if these were Native to Kentucky and if so how can I safety and ethically move their Hive to another location?

About 10-15 Worker/Foragers are flying around at anytime, living in this single piece of wood. The video contains two videos in one, in the second half you hear a “Barking” sound that I wasn’t sure would be pertinent to helping with ID.

(Pictures in comments)

At my In-Laws house who are also our next door Neighbors, the piece of wood is in their wood pile which they actively use/burn so I’m wanting to get it moved ASAP. Any and all help is appreciated!

(Edit) I should add they are the size of Honeybees maybe even possibly smaller.

First time melting beeswax, is this the right color or is it burned?

Hi all, this was my first time melting beeswax. I used old comb mostly. I was not sure wether the wax turned okay or if it is burned. I saw darker pictures of wax when burned, but this isn't bright yellow either.

Thanks

Check Out the Nurse Bees Caring for a Queen Larvae

I did remove this queen cell as it was charged and would encourage my bees to swarm if left unmanaged. While there is a time for raising new queens, this is surely not the right time! Atlanta, GA.

Blue Banded Bee - Amegilla cingulata, native Australian bee

I was happily surprised to see this little one zooming around in my garden today. At around 11:30am in the lavender and salvia.

They love these 2 plants.

This is the second year I have seen these bees in my garden 🙌 👏

Can anyone ID this bee?

These, what look like all black, bees have been visiting my garden since my daffodils came out.

My best googling guess is a black hairy footed flower bee. Can anyone confirm? I'm in south east England.

What kind of bees are these?

Hey y'all! these cute little fellas actually found a tree in my backyard and all swarmed in over a span of 20 minutes the other day. it was so odd because it was so fast, I've never seen any bees pick a spot and all move in that quick.

anyways do you guys have any idea what kind of bees they are? I live in central Texas. I'm thinking honey bees or digger bees.

Mining bee in action!

Sorry, this was only a phone video in the middle of my lawn and I sort of had to lean away to move some grass out of the way but I thought it was so cool! I've noticed lots of mining bees in the garden so I'm delighted to see this.

What's Going On?

I looked at the window and saw this. A bunch of honey bees in the yard. What exactly is going on? Is there anything I should do? Denver, Colorado.
