Wandered downstairs this arvo to refill my glass, and was surprised to hear a buzzing sound from the loo. Turned out there were bees inside, and quite a few more outside in the patio area. Promptly closed all the doors, making sure codercat was inside, then went to call J's parents for advice. They said to close the doors and wait until sundown :)

When J got home, she parked her work car out the front under the grevillea as per normal, and when we got to the front door, codercat bolted out. Not such a problem.... except that I noticed there were manymany more bees out the front than out the back. Turns out, we've got a bit of a swarm thing going on:



That shot was taken from about 4m away, and the swarm itself seems to have about the same x * y dimensions as my 24" monitor. Then there's the depth aspect......

I moved J's work car pretty soon after taking those photos, I don't want her to have a chance of being stung if I can avoid it. I'm half hoping that they'll be gone in the morning, but in case they aren't, I've got some numbers to call.
