Years ago I was working from home and there was a knock on the door during the day. I looked out and there was a power company truck parked on the street, so I opened the door, and it was a guy with the power utility. It was winter and there was a huge wasps nest in the maple tree in the front yard, and he asked if he could take it down because he collected them.

He used his bucket truck to go up and cut the half dozen limbs that went through it and brought it down. 30+ feet up in the tree I didn't realize how big it was, but it was huge, like 5 feet high and 3 feet in diameter.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Today I found a BEE in our pool..... I took her out and had her on a scoop thing........ I wanted to let her crawl on my finger but I was kinda nervous she might sting (If she was afraid,she just had a terrible experience being trapped in the water and would have died if I hadnt got her out of there!!) I dunno,maybe she wouldnt of......... I finally got her on a chair and then she fell to the ground (ouch) and was crawling along the ground.... I walked away and about 5 mins later I went back but she was gone!! (Maybe her wings had dried and she took flight )

I have been collecting them since I was 3 years old. I get new ones almost every year but I have also lost a lot of them due to age
