I think it's a possibility, Alice, that your bees while probably feeding on the rotting fruit have"gone to ground" somewhere in the area. I did have some nest in a hole under a tree at the bottom of the garden some years ago and I know the Queen, when looking for a nest, will use old mouse holes...

Great picture!!

Cool pictures.

Thanks, Clara......they are really pretty, arent they. Thats the same with the Jays here.....they have that "dont mess with me swagger".......they take over any bird feeder they show up at.
