In my neighborhood, there are many Gardenia bushes. I love the smell of Gardenias and I love walking past these bushes and smelling their sweet aroma. On Friday I noticed yellow "caution" tape surrounding one of the bushes. Upon closer inspection, this is what I found.
What's that? You can't really make out what I'm trying to show you. Here, let me give you a closer look . . .
Or, how about this . . .
When I was a little girl, my next door neighbor used to raise bees. He would look like a martian in his beekeeping garb. I remember getting my share of bee stings as a little girl. All the neighborhood kids did. We learned to stay away when the bees were being tended to. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this, though. Definitely a unique photo opportunity that I had to share. Amazing.

Oh my goodness! Now that looks awfully scary. I'd really stay clear of it.
Oh wow, I have to say that that's quite impressive!!
Yikes. No wonder there were caution tapes around the tree.
They're honey bees!? How great is that! The bees are getting a virus up hear in the Northeast. Beekeepers are having a hard time keeping them. I hope no one gets hurt, but I'm so glad to see them thriving in the tree.
Wow, that's incredible. We once found a football-sized blob of bees attached to the underside of the trampoline. They hadn't made a honey comb, they were just resting there temporarily. They only stayed about 24 hours, but it sure angered Michael when I told him he and all his friends couldn't jump on the trampoline on his birthday!
