That looks like fun! Must have been later in the afternoon when the rain stopped. Good timing, good bees!
Yes, this was about 2:00 P.M. The sun came out for about 20 minutes. Several hives had bees doing their orienting flights, but this one had very different flight patterns.
In less than 20 minutes they had swarmed and were in a new home. Then the sun went under the clouds and all flights stopped.
