Those of you who are regular readers of the PAT (point after touchdown ;-) may recall that I whined about a nasty bee sting earlier this summer. Yesterday I was in our yard and discovered a large bees nest on the ground next to the shrub I had been trying to trim when I was stung. Not only had the nest been pulled out of the bush, but there was a volleyball-sized tunnel into the shrub that had not been there a day before.
