Just stepped out back and the coralvines are absolutely covered in a
raucous riot of hundreds of honeybees!!!
Wherever they were hiding, I'm so relieved to see these guys.
They appear hungry.....

Coincidentally, I've seen no crickets around here (eastside Town

Lake) or
the rest of Town Lake.


Very good news. :-)


I'm just hoping the researcher that discovered the Asian parasites is
right and the commercial beekeepers can treat their hives. Then the wild
ones can re-populate.
Yes, very good news...


How do they treat?
Kinda hard to use pesticides on insects for insect parasites!
