In early spring, bees are often seen around a hive as they are actively foraging for nectar and pollen to sustain the colony after winter. The warmer temperatures signal the start of flowering plants, prompting bees to gather food to support the queen and raise new brood. Additionally, bees engage in hive maintenance and warmth regulation during this time, contributing to the increased activity around the hive. This early foraging is crucial for the colony's growth and survival as they prepare for the busy summer months ahead.
Bees are very attracted to tulips. It is actually good to have bees in your yard. We don't always sees bees around tulips because the tulips come out early in spring and bees are not as active at this time.
A large group of bees is commonly referred to as a "swarm." This term is typically used when bees leave their hive to find a new home, often during the spring or early summer. Other collective terms for bees include a "hive" when referring to bees in their nest and a "drone" specifically for male bees.

The term for the flight of bees is called a "swarm." This occurs when a colony of bees, typically led by a queen, leaves its original hive to find a new home. Swarming usually happens in spring or early summer when the colony becomes overcrowded or when conditions are favorable for reproduction. During this process, bees will cluster together temporarily while scout bees search for a suitable location for a new hive.
The oldest record of bees in history dates back to around 25 million years ago, during the Oligocene epoch. Fossilized remains of bees have been found in ancient deposits from that period. These early bees were similar to modern bees in some ways, but also had distinct differences.
There were no honey bees (Apis Mellifera) living naturally in North America or Australia so the early colonists brought bees with them to produce honey.
