    actually, i'm ok with waiting till it cools down. I'm not into finding bees nests this time of year.


    found a few already here. One at moms that I found today looks like a wasp/hornet, black and yellow stripes and the biggest bees I've ever seen in my life. 1 1/4" long :bug:
    they are in a tree that has a soft spot in the stump.
    Hopefully Scotty Overkill can check this tree out also. After the bees are gone of coarse :saw:

    j/k, lol. I've had quite a few very large "bee's" this season. My dad and father-in-law call 'em locust killers.

    I'll try to get a pic tomorrow
    I think they are something from the wasp/hornet family.
    I haven't seen them in this tree for 5-6 years. We caught one years ago

    The fun starts tomorrow.:dex:
    Big pile of cuts offs about 75 yards from my house and neighbor wants to take down some standing dead trees on the property and get them out so we can use them this year. This is getting better and better.
    I'd need to find out what his favorite beer is for sure!!! :handshake:
