User's notes
On a heritage trust property. The ladies had put up a sign next to the tree. Beware native bees, but they were in fact Europena Honey Bees. At first I thought they were referring to the European Wasps very active on the ground beneath the tree. I later realised they were predating on the bess (see next sighting).
