Yesterday I was out burning off some overgrown roadways and waterways to get ready for sowing some sweet clover; I noticed several bees that came from down wind (and returned that direction as well) buzzing around me and around the area that was on fire. I had no aftershave on and pretty much smelled like smoke as I worked to guide and contain the fires. This happened in 2 different locations on the farm; as soon as the smoke started rolling, bees showed up as many as 6-10 at a times but mostly singles and pairs.
My though was that maybe a feral hive smelled the fire and sent out scouts to report where it was. Any thoughts?
