Wild honeybee hive near New Bern, NC

Reported March 24, 2009 · Coordinates shown rounded for hive safety

What I think are bees are flying in and out of a cavity in the main trunk of an old Spanish Red Oak (Quercus falcata)The cavity is between 30 and 35 feet off the ground. The cavity is old and the bees could have been there unnoticed for years as it can only be seen from one area in the yard. Two years ago there was a swarm collected by bee keepers in the same yard. Bees are often seen in the garden
