Thanks, Alan! It is possible that this swarm left a property about half a mile up the main road, the owners of which keep bees and sell raw honey. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Sat, May 7, 2022 at 3:10 AM Alan C wrote: >

Re: PESO: Bees

Well captured, Dan. Looking for a home! Probably a breakaway group from an over-large hive. Many years ago, during a athletics meeting at the local High School, a large swarm arrived in a tree near the track. Some idiot schoolkids started pelting them with stones and they went on the rampage.

Re: PESO: DRACAENA

Re: PESO: DRACAENA

Alan - great that your draecaenas are running wild!... looking forward to seeing them in good light... mine held the blossoms for a fair amount of time so I hope yours do...  The direct flash photos are nice to document the event but not so good for revealing how lovely those flowers are..
