Recently while searching for late season specials at Housel’s Nursery &
Stearns Landscaping in downtown Temperance; I came across a peculiar
looking bag.
It was hard not to notice, hanging there on the doorway to the outsideoffice area. When I inquired I was told that the bag was nothing more than a
plastic grocery bag that had been stuffed with other bags.
When I asked why, they replied the bag appears to other bees, such asWOOD BORING bees, to be a hornet’s nest. Apparently the two do not get alongand wood bees will avoid an area that is home to Hornets–thereby preventingthe wood bees from boring into wood items that may be a part of your home or garden.
Who Knew?????
