Thanks Paul. I'll let my friend know. I couldn't see details of the bees on
the film - they were buzzing too quickly! - but this sounds possible. Also
Stefanie - thanks - I thought maybe it could be water too.
Thanks all
Helen

We had this phenomenon on our allotments last year around this time of
year. They were ivy (if I recall correctly) bees, but they look very like
honeybees. If it is sandy soil, look for lots of little nest-holes. Ivy
bees are solitary, but tend to all nest in the same place.

It has been very dry. If there is a sprinkler on the lawn at some point
in the day or during the night maybe the bees are collecting water?

Hi
I've just been sent a video (on Whatsapp and I don't know how to forward
it) from a friend who has a fairly large lawn and it is literally buzzing
all over with honeybees. Any ideas about a reason for this behaviour?
