Ojibway Nature Centre - 8th June 2016

Astonished gasps of children mingle with the buzz of thousands of bees swarming around a tree just to the right of the path. From a distance, the orange and black mass appears to be a single entity, wave after wave of energy rippling over its surface. Closer inspection reveals the truth. Individual honeybees crowded around a hole in the trunk. A seemingly endless river of bees flow from the hive, flying off in search of blossoms, while others struggle against the tide to deliver their cargo to workers within.

Karen Cedar, Naturalist at Ojibway Nature Centre, explains that the bees had moved in a couple of years ago. "Insects play an essential role in pollinating the wildflowers found in the park," she explains. "Without them, most plants could not survive."
