Amazing Honey Bees

It was a fine December evening at about 5:30 PM when we surprisingly spotted four, just four, honeybees suddenly wandering near our balcony. Our flat is on the 6th level on a 10-level apartment building. The decorative vertical columns and horizontal beams forming the facade of our apartment seem to have attracted those four bees. They buzzed and hovered around the columns and beams. They never even accidentally strayed on to the plants and flowers we had in our mini balcony garden. We became quite inquisitive about the visitors at our balcony - why were they roaming in our balcony surroundings all of a sudden, and what were they up to?

The mystery unravelled quickly, within 5 minutes. Not sure how their so reliable messaging system works, but what poured in at the scene within moments were thousands, may be 10s of thousands, of honey bees! Noise. Unbearably loud buzzing noise. Gosh, where did they all swarm so magically from? How did they get the signal from the four bees which came initially? Amazing.
