Why are bees swarming around our house?

they are looking for a new home. While they are doing that the whole swarm hangs out some place they think is nice (don't know why they prefer your place). While they are hanging out they send off scout bees who look at potential home sites and eventually they will choose one and move there. Unless you bother them they should not be aggressive. \nIf there is a bee keeper not to far from you, it is probably his bees and it could be a couple of different swarms. Then contact the bee keeper to keep better watch on his bees. Even if it is not their swarm a bee keeper may be interested in collecting it anyway. \nIf it is the same swarm, they may be wild bees, and not having much luck with their chosen spot. \n\nI guess you must be living somewhere where it already is warm, in the north it would be very early for bees to swarm

It depends on the flower but they can attract moths, bees, beetles and bats. The reason for the scent is to attract the pollinator and the nectar is a reward for pollinating the flowers. Bee flowers are usually blue or yellow.

It sounds like a jumping spider. If it is a hairy matte black then Im sure it is. They are mostly harmless prefering to leave you alone and eat houseflys. They are not generaly agressive unless provoked.

Ants have varying food sources AND they go through various lifecycles where they eat different things at different times of life.\n\nYes, they do usually go back to their nest and leave a chemical scent trail so the others can get back to where they found the food source.\n\nIt's possible that wood in the floor by the toilet or urine that hasn't been cleaned up, yet is attracting it.

When bees communicate to each other, they communicate the position of nearby flowers.  The directions are relative to the sun's position in the sky.  But the bees are able to communicate this, taking into account that the sun's position has changed in the time it took them to fly back to the hive!\n\nThat still blows me away.  There's so much we have to learn about the animal world.

It is the skin-mites making a nest!

A solitary bee (no hive, no swarm: lives in holes in the ground) about twice the size of the gregarious swarming honey bee.

Mother natures way to get kids to leave the nest and start their own mess.  So that their kids will hate them and the cycle never ends and humans go forth and multiply.

They buzz not by choice and by choice at the same time... Who wrote that  they buzz because of their wings beating is correct but bees and wasps can buzz in a different frequency and/or fly in determined angles to indicate food sources and to indicate danger!

Many eusocial insects, including the honey bee, Apis mellifera, which is illustrated here, reproduce by swarming. Honey bee colonies swarm in the spring, sending the old queen and about half the colony's workers in search of a new nest. The old nest is inherited by one of the queen's daughters. Swarms generally settle on a tree branch near the old nest; scout bees then go out in search of a new nesting site. As many sites may be found, a method of choosing the best one is necessary. Scouts dance on the surface of the swarm, indicating the location of the sites.Over time, a consensus emerges among the bees concerning the best nesting site, as scouts who have found poorer sites stop dancing, while ever-increasing numbers of bees dance for the better sites.

Most really huge bees are actually pretty harmless.\n\nCheck out this site for all your insect identification needs: http://whatsthatbug.com/

Probably the weather, when it gets too cold or too hot they come on in and join the group- pesty little things. I would call someone to come spray around the outside of your house, if there are a lot.

Do you mean "swarm" or "hive"?\n\nWasps almost never swarm.  They do live together in hives, however.  Or at least some of them do, there are also many solitary wasps and bees.  Other insects that live in hives or at least communal structures include termites and ants.\n\nSwarming occurs in many different groups of insects.  Bees swarm when a colony gets too big and some of the population flies off to found a new one.  Locusts, cicada, white-flies, army ants, mayflies, termites, and many types of grasshopper and their relatives also swarm.  I'm probably forgetting dozens.

Fairy dust.  They fly around your bedroom while you are sleeping at night and it drops from their wings and collects in the corner of your eyes.  Don't worry, it's harmless.
