Yikes!


I have to tell you strange things are happening. The other day I saw something on our picnic table and walked closer to get a better look. It turned out to be just a couple tarps Joe folded and didn't put away. But I glanced over to the grill, there was a bumble bee hovering over the grill. I quickly backed away. Then another came out of nowhere and they made circles around the grill. I had to test it. I stepped closer. The guard bee stopped circling and hovered over the grill and if I know bee body language he was saying, "Go ahead. Make my day." So I stepped forward. (I was curious, OK?)   The other bee showed back up and they started circling again. I stepped back fast and then the one bee went someplace and the guard was again in place. I ran inside to tell Joe what I'd discovered. Wow. 

The other day when we had an earthquake (Yes it was originated in Michigan but wanted to share some with us) I noticed all the bumble bees were flying around in circles. The earthquake had made them think someone was messing with their hive I guess. Wow. Amazing things happening right here in Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here land. 


Here is a bumble bee guard.

I guess we won't be having any hamburgers for awhile.
