Re: bees!

Technically, those were wasps. Which, at least in the north, are much worse than bees. I'm not sure if the Africanized bees are still an issue where they've managed to make inroads.
Our U225 is parked at our shop where we also have stored a lot of remnants of our lives as orchardists; including some old beehive boxes. These are way in the corner behind things like a old Ford 8N tractor and stuff. We discovered that two of the hives have been occupied by thriving colonies of honeybees so the DW donned her suit and hat and went out there and fixed up their homes so we can get some honey from them.
As a side benefit, the teenagers who used to climb the fence behind the shop lot and take a shortcut past the U225 have suddenly stopped.
