A bee flies back to a swarm Monday afternoon, May 11, 2015, in an oak tree in Salina, Kan. New honey bee colonies are formed when a queen bee leaves a colony with many worker bees. Spring is when swarming usually occurs, but can happen any time during the producing season. During that spring migration, the old queen and her thousands of worker bees search for new suitable nesting places to begin new colonies. Periodically, they will stop to rest, often in places occupied by humans. The swarm will meld together, surrounding and protecting the queen bee. (Photo by Tom Dorsey/Salina Journal via AP Photo)
