John E Davies Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) They got the first nest, but they think there are a couple of more, and time is running out before winter, when the workers die, the queens disappear and burrow underground until spring.

Moderators Overland Posted October 29, 2020 Moderators Share Posted October 29, 2020 I forwarded the link to those suits to my wife. We ran into some Africanized bees at organ pipe a few years ago and could have used a few of those. 🐝 🐝 🐝 Probably a bit hot to wear for hiking though, especially in Arizona. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
