Honey bee (Apis mellifera) swarm. Swarming. When the size of the colony reaches a certain stage, usually in Spring or Summer when the nectar flow is at its greatest, the queen and a great many workers, leave the hive in a swarm. The swarm comes to rest in a great cluster on a tree branch or similar situation. Scout bees, who may have left the hive some days before, seek out a suitable situation for a new nest and return to the swarm and communicate this information, whereupon the whole swarm moves off to the new site. Kiel, Germany | Dieser Schwarm von Honigbienen (Apis mellifera) ist vor wenigen Minuten aus seinem vertrauten Bienenstock ausgeflogen: Das Bienenvolk will sich teilen. Dafür fliegt die alte Königin aus, etwa 20 000 weitere Bienen folgen ihr. Schließlich sammelt sich der Schwarm in einem nahegelegen Strauch. Kiel, Deutschland
