Too cold and wet out this way. Even the resident bumble bees are huddled up on the fireweed.

I'm glad I didn't start my bee colony this year. Poor bastids probably wouldn't come out of the hive.

Some years the yellow jackets are horrible in the interior. Jake NoShoulders cannot live here. Fleas are making inroads. Blow flies infest the place. Not aware of ticks.
