Sudden Buzz of Activity
When you notice a sudden buzz of activity, in a smallish area (about 1 cubic meter), this is also no cause for alarm. It will look something like the picture displayed here on top.
This is known as an Orientation Flight. It is the first flight of a new batch of bees outside the hive, and it lasts for 5 to 10 minutes. The colony is not suddenly angry and preparing for an attack. It’s actually quite fascinating to watch.

The bees are being a nuisance – you cannot sit and have a “kuier” outside without bees buzzing around your table and your soft drinks. The bees are being a menace – they have attacked you or your family or your pets. The bees are in your way – they are holed up in a borehole or a pool pump cover or under a tarp, or in an irrigation or electrical box, preventing you from being able to get some task done.
Cluster of Bees
When you notice a cluster of bees like this that was not there yesterday, or this morning, then there is no cause for alarm. You don’t need to call for bee removal services. Such a cluster of bees is a temporary occurrence. They have split off from their colony due to it getting too large for their home, and have their scouts on the lookout for a new place to stay. As soon as their scouts have found a suitable home, they will move on. This usually takes a day or three.
