Bee swarm!

Finally caught a couple of the “W”'s in the trap, but still had a couple in my shop as well. Wonderif I should hang on in the shop or not? I mean, they are already there its not like I would be inviting them in, though I don’t know if they will be more in the shop with a trap inside or not?

Funny this thread came up, yesterday after I posted, I got the opportunity to watch four individual bumble bees working over the first of the dandylions in our yard.

They let me get within 6-8 inches with my DSLR to get pictures of them working. No smiles though.

Steve, that’s the trap I have hanging out back of my shed. Apparently mine is defective, I have NOTHING in mine after almost a week except a spider!

It varies from year to year. Last year, I caught a zillion of ‘em. This year, nuttin’ so far. I’m patient. They are foolish and greedy.
