Ma had to get in there for something and said they're still in there. i think some type of mason bee. can sting more than once. bugger got me before i got her once in the heel and once on the end of the index finger of all places. luckily the sting wore off in a few hours. not allergic. ok today will be a busy day. hope everyone is doing well? songbird Sounds more like some kind of wasps or hornets, maybe Yellow Jackets. Mason bees are solitary and absolutely non-aggressive, only sting as a last resort. They don't live in colonies and don't produce honey like honeybees. However, they are far more efficient pollinators than honeybees and are great to have around the garden or orchard. Ross. Southern Ontario, Canada |
