Bees swarm

Swarming is part of the natural reproductive life cycle of honey bees and usually occurs when bees increase their population in late spring and early summer.
A swarm may contain up to 30,000 bees - workers, drones, and a queen.
A swarm looks like a clump of bees as all of the workers are gathered around the queen and searching for a new home. "Bees swarm when their current home is too full. The hive decides it's time to divide. Half will stay behind in the current home and make themselves a new queen. The other half and the old queen will leave to find a new home."

Holi celebrations in India

One of the first Holi Festivals - Krishna, Radha and Gopis

The colourful festival of Holi is celebrated on Phalgun Purnima in late February or early March. 

Phalgun Purnima marks the birth of the Goddess Lakshmi who is the Hindu Goddess of wealth and prosperity. So, Phalguna Purnima is special to Hindus.

Holi's ancient origins joyously celebrate the triumph of good over evil. 

Hindus believe it is a welcoming of  spring's abundant colours and a farewell to winter. 

It also has a religious purpose, commemorating events in Hindu legend. 

This colourful festival also celebrates the eternal love of Radha and Krishna. This festival is celebrated in a grand style in the city of Mathura and Vrindavan. These are two important cities which are deeply associated to Lord Krishna.

The festival of colours teaches humankind to transcend above the caste and creed. It is a festival to forget old grievances and meeting others with great warmth & high spirit. This festival begins with lightening of bonfire on Holi eve. Next day, people play Holi with different types of colours, abirs and gulals. They greet each other with Shubh Holi i.e. Happy Holi and send warm wishes of the festival. HOLI FESTVAL ORG
