hive....have one on a tree right now...but actually a swarm....going on 10 days...I am going to wiki that now...to see what is going on....oh my goodness...I have the US congress in my front yard...wiki says they only have enough food for 3 days....they need a 80% approval rating from the scouts before moving on to a cavity that will suit there needs. they will probably die on that branch, one of three on the stubby but tall yellowing flowering desert shrub..... due to lack of consensus .
