With the recent storm knocking some large trees over nearby and around the property thats all I have been doing + some finishing up for this years wood, mostly taking dry tops of dead elm, or anything that will dry down like black cherry the the rest is next years and beyond. So while preparing areas to make stacks, the top of a single stack thats been there since last January had a wheel barrow or so of pieces fall off into a small ditch between the stack and a small slope, while cleaning that up, I hear the buzz by my right shoulder and had an unexpected passenger! First glance I thought it was a darned bald faced or white faced hornet, sun shining on it made it look so. I tossed my hammer, gloves, ran off a bit, knew to twitch my long short sleeve shirt to displace him, now he had landed way long enough to sting but did not. Got him off, but he chased a short distance, then that was it. So I go back over, I know something is up, I did get all the pieces that fell out of the ditch, this happened again, yikes.... ok, so I watch, finally.... bumble bees, or the green and black ones, seems to me there is a type of these that bore into soft dry wood like pine, so maybe they moved into the old 2x4 dunnage under the stack. It was cool out, but they were still busy, and these have pollinated my nearby garden, I saw very few honey bees, just bumble bees since early spring, apples, pears and apricot trees were pollinated by them as I observed. Maybe because it was cool out, they were not so aggressive or numerous, but when that sucker landed on me, had just expected the sting, never happened LOL !! Never noticed these at all this summer even trimmed the grass in that area to the dirt, bees are something else, maybe I got a reprieve, well they can stay, we need em or so it seems !

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
