Topic:	Bees, honeybees
Question:	The last few days, my parents have noticed a bee swarm (cluster) resting on the peek of the roof of their house. I'm interested in learning more about their behavior. Can you provide me with more information?
Answer:	Swarms are usually temporarily. Once they find a nest site they move on. There is always the possiblity that they are moving into the home as a potential nest site. In either case you should watch them for a few days to see if they move on or are taking up residence.
