Top of the morning everyone. Heavy clouds offshore this morning. Ocean looks like a swimming pool.

Good mornin'!
Yep. Triple digits for the next ten days. No rain. Rattler breeding season.

Yes, I walk or bike to the beach often. I took these this morning. Clouds and Sahara dust have been offshore lately.
Looks like the clouds exploded
:) Thanks for sharing
 
Slashing brush, saw a dirt pile at the end of a rotted log.
I was cutting a few small saplings down, looked and the ground was alive with small honey bees.
So I moved away, continued to cut. I must of been 40 ft away and felt a sting on my shin, then on the knee, (I'm in the middle of a cut) then above the knee.

Then it was over half way up my thigh!
Drop the saw and I was swatting, rubbing, scrubbing.
It was heading to places where it wasn't going there!
4 stings, jewel weed applied.
Back to work.

Yellow jacket wasps don't stop stinging unlike honey bees. I will have to try jewel weed not sure where to find it for the stings.
If you want to kill the nest of yellow jackets underground, try a number of ounces of gasoline down the hole after dusk when all the wasps are at the nest underground with a gallon metal can over the hole to the nest for a few days to kill the whole nest.
 
I will take a look at this quiet stealth dredge, the 4" dredge is being used by a claim owner partner so he has to deal with the forest circus idiots and permits. i guess next year for me dredging. I'm too damn busy.

These were wild honey bees.
Pollinators so I'll just have to apologize for the mis step.
