As they look for a new home, are the bees pitiful (im)migrants, or naughty colonizers?

The guy with empty bee-hives says they're immigrants; the guy with the beach towel says they're colonizers.

It's the bees' towel now.

Swarming bees are much calmer than bees in a hive or out foraging. These bees can be put in a box, a bucket, a hive with wax, and they'll be happy. Where the queen goes, there goes the rest of 'em.

Probably unleashed by some Karen beekeeper who did not approve of people gathering with less then 6' spacing.

Bees are pretty harmless when they are swarming and have no hive to defend. Free the queen and the rest will follow.

A few years ago my sister was stung by a bee in our backyard. I remembered my mom saying to use Adolph’s Meat Tenderizer mixed with a little bit of water on stings. My sister said it made the pain nearly disappear within minutes.

The beachgoers were remarkably calm about it. I guess the frightened ones had left.

mikee,

Exactly. We had a couple hives, but our place was mostly wooded, so they had to forage far. I remember when they swarmed. Terrifying for me (I was a kid), but no biggie for my mom; she climbed the tree where most of them eventually alit, retrieved the queen, put her back in the hive, and the rest followed.

She had beekeeping gear (netted headgear, padded suit), but I still don't know how she managed to thrust her hand into a few thousand bees, look till she found the one with the bit of nail polish on her carapace, and box her up, all while twenty feet above ground.
