I’ve seen this happen a couple of times and I still think its cool. What seemed like a sudden and random act a bunch of bees decided to all meet at the same time on the same tree branch. I’ve had it explained to me that what is actually happening is that a Queen Bee, who is a weaker flier than her drones, stopped to rest. All the other bees surround her to protect her.
They were like this for several days.
