I discovered this swarm of bees clinging to the lower half of a daisy clump in the garden this afternoon. It was not there yesterday!
I am not really sure if they are bees or wasps. I think bees,can anyone confirm that?
I am not sure what to do about them. Already our two cats have each come in with one clinging to their fur and we have had more than usual inside the house. They may be searching for somewhere to build a hive but I hope it's not too close. I am scared of them swarming and stinging !! The whole mass is bigger than a large pineapple and is about 12" from the ground.
