Bees Are MEAN!
Let's get straight to the update, so I can explain the title.
C1: taken down last week
C2: nothing new going on here
C3: BEES ARE MEAN!!!!!!!!!! A story: we were doing our checks as usual, and box three was the only one we really had to check because there were small babies in it. So we got to the box and saw something sticking it's head out of the box. But when we got out of the car, we saw a SWARM of bees around the nest. My brother tried to hit the box to see if he could get the bees away, but when he hit it, more bees flew out. stupid bees. They had suffocated the baby birds inside or stung them to death, invading the bluebird box. That entire nest was lost including the 4 babies inside.
C4: nothing new
C5: nothing new
C6: no check this week, birds are still fledging
check in next week for grand totals and total number of birds fledged!
