All this week I have been watching from my ofdice window the clearing of a lot for a building. This lot had trees that were al least two hundrd yrs old and five feet in diameter. Just this minute, I look outside and see the workers running. Bees. Honey bees to be exact. They poisoned them before i could get outside and inquire. The nest was inside a cavity the size of a very large duffel bag. Dead bees everywhere. I looked for about ten minutes for the queen, no luck. Besides, today is cold and I doubt i could have saved them.Comb was huge, but very dry and lite. Not a lot of stores.
Less Trees, Less Bees :(
