The above picture was not taken at the Desert. This is a picture of a swarm of bees moving through SaddleBrooke late in April. When at the Museum, I saw the sign explaining why these bees were not a "real" threat to me. They are Honey Bees, traveling with their Queen, and merely using my neighbor's tree as a rest spot. In fact, the entire swarm was gone within an hour of taking the picture.
