Bee Swarm!!!

Just Thursday morning I woke up to my annoying next door neighbor squealing like a piglett that's been freshly branded. naturally I went outside to find out why and was met with the sight of a million bees buzzing around my front door. I'm not sure if he got stung or not but he retreated into his house before I could find out. Upon inspecting the situation I found a large swarm of honey bees hanging off the corner of my trailer no more than ten feet away from my front door. her is a picture of the actual swarm, it was about the size of a football.

After plucking up a bit of courage I was able to get close enough to get some decent pictures. also I was able to get a few shots from behind (Via crawling under the trailer from the other side) which is the next picture here. I was not stung once but I did kneel on a sharp stone that put a substantially painful "owie" on my knee. Luckily when bees swarm they pay almost no attention to anything else and are quite calm.
After getting a few pictures I took a video with some narration in the hopes that I might get stung for the amusement of the audience. Unfortunatly, (or fortunatly, I'm not sure which) I didn't get stung during the video either, although a few bees did land on me and crawl through my hair. In retrospect I realize that I should have reached out and poked the swarm, that would have gotten some results. Here is the video, sorry it wasn't as exciting as it could have been.

At any rate I called a bee keeper and he came out and had a look at it. By the time he got to my house though, the swarm had left for the most part. Apparently they found a suitable nesting place and the only bees that remained were the ones that were away when the swarm left. Please reply and tell me what interesting bee stories you might have.
