Summer Scavenger Hunt

Now I realise that this isn't strictly a beehive....but I was very excited when i opened up my patio umbrella to find this




It's a 'paper nest', started by wasps.......needless to say I swiftly got rid of it, after photographing it of course. We get a few of these every year, and only once has one been so well concealed that we didn't see it until it was well-inhabited! I reckon this is the closest I'm going to get to a beehive!

I also took these pics of the pine forest behind our house...that's our chimney in the pic!



I must go and find my list, and check what I've still to 'capture'!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you

    I'd say definitely close enough!

    I don't think I've ever seen one of those before!

    I'm with Sian, I've never seen one before, and although I'd be the same and would get rid of it, I will say, it's very pretty

    I would say that's as good as a beehive. You're doing so well with all of your scavenger finds :)
