[QUOTE="Star*, post: 422843, member: 4964"] Wanna come get a hive? I think I have a brandy new nest of Colettes hanging out near the shop. LOVELY! I am 100% allergic to bees - and while Colettes or Cellophanes aren't aggressive and you'd practically have to pinch them to get them to sting? Miss Pootie seems to delight in snapping at anything that buzzes. I've called the extension office and we are to "capture" one - which we did, and bring it in. They are beautiful for sure, I'm certain I've seen the queen - she was markedly huge in contrast and was digging tunnels then backing out, digging then backing out. They didn't seem to mind I was there taking pictures. They didn't like the garden tractor which is how I found them in the first place. Had they been yellow jackets? I would be in the ER. That's what made me think Cellophane bees - that and their nest in is the ground. UGH - [/QUOTE]
