Still a few wild hives in the big swamp. If they’re smart, they’ll stay here. I am more likely to see carpenter bees or bumblebees on the yard flowers however. I checked out the closest commercial hives yesterday, looking good so far.
There are a bunch of carpenter bees eating up my wood deck. My DH sprayed one with about a half can of flying insect spray and he (she?) just laughed it off. Then he turned around and flew right between our heads. Still eating up the deck.
