Can't really leave a comment Tabib. Your brilliant picture just wegs lots of questions. Where are they, Why are they there, What are they doing, When do they do thids etc, etc.

Whoa, pretty cool shot there. I wouldn't want to be too close, though.

Thanks ALL for comments
Sorry Phil for no explanation. This is 'wordless posting' ;)

I initially thought this not a permanent nest, which usually disappear within 24 hours. But after more than one month the bee/nest is still there.
I have seen a Bee Swarm during my birding trip. It disappeared when I returned a week later.

Apis florea nest near human habitation, which in this case at Moringa Oleifera tree about 30 meter from my front yard.
The nest is tubular in shape about 40cm long x 15cm diameter- like a water bottle about 0.5m from ground and monsoon drain, and about 3 meters from back-lane that my son used to play badmington.
