swarms
Masses of bees
Swarms is the plural of swarm—a large group of insects moving together, especially bees leaving a hive: Swarms of locusts devastated the crops.
The word extends to any dense, moving crowd: Swarms of tourists descended on the plaza.
As a verb, swarms means to move in great numbers or to be crowded with: The beach swarms with people in summer.
