Thanks for sharing your pics & experiences, Dirt & Asa.....just realized you're a couple.
Sounds like you're having fun.
We're going camping in the desert tomorrow, and the first thing we do when we get there
is to put out a waterer for the bees. It's amazing how many bees are in the desert!
They swarm around me as I add more water, but have never been stung (yet
)
Being in the middle of a giant swarm like Asa would certainly be an incredible life experience!
