I saw it Sunday evening and I was out there Saturday morning monkeying around in the shed looking for paint or something and didn't notice it or even any bees. I don't want my kids kicking a soccer ball or something into it. My oldest hits golf balls over there, my luck he'd peg it and get attacked.
It's the natural resurgence cycle I'm thinking. They were nearly extinct a few years ago, like the bats around here that got white nose virus. The bees are making a huge comeback though, thanks to dedicated farmers and gardners who put out bee balm and the like to attract them and help them hive.
