I see a cloud of bees around my neighbor's hive. Is this a swarm?
No. These are recently hatched bees who are taking a daily flight to get a break from their nursing duties, and to relieve themselves. Usually, the bees will be very active in front of the hive for 15 to 30 minutes per day. This will not be as noticeable during nectar flow because they have places to go and nectar to fetch.
