Oh, that's good... Having seen what wasps do, I was always a little afraid of the stuff in those jars. I figured there would be little bee larvae capped in those cells.
So no worries about that then, right? :)
There used to be one right over the hill. Now it's a sprawling complex of strip malls and restaurants. Unsurprisingly, we don't have nearly as many bees around as we used to.
right, no baby bees there...
there was a disease that hit the US, and for a greater part, killed off most all the wild bees...the 'tame bees', have problems, but with some careful management, are hanging in there.

Shiva, your mentioning wild bees sure brought back memories of simple joys, long gone. Yearly, we had a combined all day picnic and 'bee tree' cutting while a wild hog was caught by pit bulls grabbing the ears. Nature really was "red in tooth and claw" back then, and I wonder how far we've come. Anyway, the hive was in a pine tree which was cut down after smoking the bees out. The honey was great, at least in memory. I was too young to share in some sort of beverage the men made which seemed to affect them like the 'cane buck' they made at our annual 'cane grinding'. Supposedly they were making syrup, not fermenting juice. Sorry turners, I don't remember any chair legs being bodged from the pine tree. Arch
Fortiter,
its no fun to cut a bee tree down... BTDT 2 times too many...
