I came along the trail shortly after someone/something did the unthinkable and knocked the bottom off this happy home. Maybe someone thought it might be cool to unleash these guys. :?

Cool photo . . . I've inadvertently disturbed some underground bee nests on a couple of occasions. Never a good time!

Oh man! one of those nasty little @$%#*& nailed me on the back of the neck yesterday.

One's gotta be careful this time of the year.

Keep an eye on your house gutters/walls too... These buggers build their nests wherever they can. When I lived in California, I had an entire wall full of them.
