Warning: Viewing this large will increase the chances that you get the HibbieJibbies and I can't be held responsible for your HibbieJibbies! :P As soon as they are sure no food is to be had they ball back up again and wait .. We took some MOV file video of this but I'm looking for a way to join those files, if anyone knows of something (free) that actually works.

Searching the web for what they might have caught.. Not sure how long they live and hunt together before they spread out into the world..

The protection we built for the bees last year has worked the hive is usually a buzz with activity coming in and out :)

Turns out we didn't scare them at all, they simply thought they had caught food.

The first time we saw them I accidentally breathed on them, they scattered over the leaf.

We first saw this pod yesterday in bad light, so went back today

Thought this was some odd seed pod, upon further examination the seeds had legs..

Shaping the world one bite at a time...

I took this shot with the zoom in anticipation of this ladybird spreading the wings to take flight, when I got home I realized she wasn't going anywhere.. The amount of aphids on there shocked me..lol

Down the path at Combe Haven near the Water Treatment Plant area.

After talking to a few more experienced folks about this hives location, we were told that moving them was impossible and that the situation of them being in peril in a hard winter was probably correct. So being the tree hugger type that I am we decided to go make some natural cover for them to give them a fighting chance to last the winter. For anyone that has stumbled on this the Before shots are here: Update for anyone who may find this photo, this hive lasted another three years after we covered it up, late in the 3rd year autumn badgers found the hive and destroyed it, but it took a long time for that to happen, being on the ground you would have expected that to happen right away.
