I take it that you don't get teddy bears then?

Actually, all this bee talk is a bit sad as we haven't seen any this
spring and summer and normally we would see at least one BB each day.

We've been noticing an *awful* lot of your ordinary Australian Hornets
lately. Must be a bumper year for them. We've also got Paper Wasps
nesting under our eaves and foraging in the garden. Can you imagine how
I cheered when I saw one carting a Cabbage Moth caterpillar off to feed
its family?
