| I was trying to get a close look at one for identification but there was no activity. Thus, I threw a stick at the bush from a long way away. After a few seconds the whole bush came alive ie most definately a swarm of some description. They were buzzing around up to 10 feet away from the bush looking for something to attack. I too did not think we had the agressive strains in the UK. If thats what normal bees do in a swarm then I hate to think what the killer bees do!! Funny thing is that we have now been stung 4 time between us and not once was a stinger left.
