I swear I didn’t dig up the nest. As curious as I am, I’m also comfortable with mystery. The more I know, the more I know I don’t know.
But something did dig up the ground bee nest I’ve been watching. I’m guessing skunk. We’ve only had one bear sighting on our farm.
Below is a photo of some of the comb which was tore out of the nest. Have you heard of the theory that observing changes the observed?
I am sorry about your ground bees. It probably was a skunk, yes. 😞 We have had skunks in our neighborhood, and I have worried about them bothering our bees.
Thanks, Heather. Your bees honey is the best!
