Bob, I'll try to contact Gary DeLatte tomorrow. However, these are not *feral* honeybees. They are almost solid black and about half the size of a honeybee. They usually pick a place to spend the night and stick to it for quite a while. I've never been able to spot a nest or hive. This is the second year they've been here. Thanks, Phil -- Phil Mueller 325 Burdette [log in to unmask] New Orleans, LA 70118 Tulane University (504) 866-1913
