Inspiration- Group insect movements and the shapes they create

A few days ago a swarm of bees flew over the massive roof of my studio building and parked themselves in the vents above one of the live-work spaces.  My studio is in North Oakland at Alcatraz and Sacramento. Not exactly a rural spot.  This made me start thinking about the shapes groups of animals or insects make when they travel or move into new homes.  For some reason it is easier for me to research these forms thinking of bees and butterflies. The mass movement of humans gives me pause.
