 Question:Please I.D.
 Some bees, or WASPs, or Hornets have set up camp in our lawn. Their heads
 are green, yet their bodies have faint yellow and black stripes. They live
 underground and cover up the hole to their nest come ~sundown. Have you
 ever seen something like this?
         There seems to be a gate-keeper guardian. One green head pops up and
looks
 around,  like it's watching its hole. These bees are digging up our lawn,
 but so far no stings.
 Thanks,Midnitebee(Herb)

watch em and see if pollen covered bees get head of the line privelledges at
the entrance
 
 
  One thing beekeeping has done for me besides getting me outdoors more in
fine weather is to change the way I look at flowers and insects.
   I guess the more I learn the more I want to know.
 
Here in CT it has been dry and the honeyflow is paused or maybe stopped til
 the fall flow
