Fort Saskatchewan resident Korinne Walsh was walking her dog on Sunday (June 25) when she saw quite the sight - a tree covered in bees.
In a video posted to the Fort Sask Informed Facebook page, Walsh shared a video of the tree, showing thousands of bees swarming around a tree in the West River's Edge dog park.
The post garnered attention from bee-savvy Fort Saskatchewan residents, who told Walsh that there was nothing to worry about.
"Leave them. They are just temporarily nesting there," wrote resident Dan Rohatynski. "Had [the] same thing in my yard, [but they] left after a couple of weeks."
This behaviour comes from crowded hives, where a group of worker bees and the queen leave the hive to search for a new location. Usually, the bees will stick around for a week or so before dispersing.
As of Monday, most of the bees have left the tree and moved to a new, unknown location.
