Eeeek!
I’ve been traumatized lately. When I would go to get the mail at these new dandy one stop fits all mailboxes I kind of noticed that a few bees, wasps, I never really got a good look, would drift in and out of the one behind me. I kind of thought to tell the mailman because we’ve had a TON of wasps in the neighborhood. They really like our house too. They were starting to build in the front posts by the door when I decided I had enough. They dive bomb me as I go to the car. I’m sorry I’m squeemish. I know they are supposed to be good and all for the garden but I was not handling it well.
So a few days later our neighbors tell us they saw the mailman get attacked while trying to deliver the mail. Then he disappeared for a couple of days. No mail.
Now I did not blame him and told my husband I had no intention of getting the mail until November.
But being the follow through man that he is my husband went to the post office to let them know about the situation…just in case. Turns out they knew and we’re coming to take care of it. (Yes I did thank God profusely for this. Over and over and still every day).
Also being the curious man that he is my husband went and took a video of the offending creatures. He also got a few still photos and here is one below.
Bees? Nest
My sister says it looks like some sort of animal mouth and well she’s right!
