Well I was surprised to see them also. I don't know if they are honey bee variety but I really never see these big fat black and yellow bees anymore. I usually see wasps.

I was thinking that I would like to try a beehive if they are legal in Fairfax. We used to buy honey from a guy at the patent office, he is the one who told me about the parasite that kills the honey bees. Your being a farmer and all, you already know about that, and that honey bees are not indigenous to the Americas. We still have bumble bees and carpenter bees, which are indigenous. Although this year, we don't seem to have wasps. We used to have them really bad. But we don't have gypsy moths, or gypsy moth caterpillars, either. I know the county sprayed for those, using that same bacillus that's been put into the corn, BT.
