bumblebee hive at my house






The other weekend, I was working out in our compost and happened to unearth a bumblebee hive of some sort... it was a collection of pods that were the size of a pinkie fingertip...they had a honey-like substance inside (even though I have heard from a few people that they don't produce honey). Whatever the liquid is, it is sweet and clear like honey....yes we tasted it.... I have posted some picutres here of the cluster and have saved it to show Gerry... the bumblebees are still happily living in our compost....Kathy W
