Nice morning to go kill some bees.

First 30s of the season and a post by Ray. Winter comes.....

Was today the day it was supposed to be 94 ?

Not quite

You need new bait. No one is biting.

"Early autumn heat is not unusual, but we haven’t seen any extreme heat — meaning temperatures in the upper 80s or even 90s — in late September and October for quite a while. We know that over the past several decades temperatures have warmed up, but what is interesting is that the absolute extreme highest temperatures in fall have not really changed. You might be surprised that our warmest temperatures after Sept. 20 mostly occurred prior to the year 2000. Of the top 20 warmest days in late September and early October, only one has occurred this century." https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/09/17/first-new-england-will-see-frosty-weather-then-around-this-weekend-what-going/UOHsiadw2w0N9D2LRcGObI/story.html?p1=Article_Feed_ContentQuery

Stay safe!

Yes please.

Warm is good. Hopefully it's not it another head fake.

A pleasant afternoon or two and then back to fall.

You are in for a treat.

Please try and be precise. Folks come here for accurate weather information. Last thing we need is someone throwing around numbers they've pulled from their ass.

And take the bees with them.

Bring it on I'll take it until November.

You're excused you've been away.

And this week we were supposed to see the 90s. Toss...

What happened to the 90s on the 17th?

Absolutely gorgeous. Amazing how many people don't know it. Reid state park is not bad either

Serious ass rain by Springfield.

Those are the killers. Probably thousands. Somehow avoided a hurtin' yesterday after I got into this one. They have to taxi before entering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIYCSMwOac8

It's getting worse Dropped two trees on yellow jacket nests yesterday. Off to the races... " "This season's been perfect weather for them. Stable high temperatures. Very little rain. The rain's been at the end of the day or overnight when they're not really working anyway," said Russell. Basically, Russell says most days have been great work days for yellow jackets. "This time of year, nest population is very high. You're talking three to 500 individuals in a nest. We're talking very, very aggressive," stated Russell. A common myth: when the nights get cooler, days get shorter, and yellow jackets get a bit crazed. "That's an easy thing to tie it to, 'Oh, the season is getting shorter and they're getting nervous'. No, no. The number of bees has just escalated so high. There's so much more activity, that it just seems like they're more anxious, but there's just more of them," noted Russell.

Just brutal.

Not much sense going to the doctor . If you get it you're pretty much toast .

It's got me spooked . I work in a hardwood forest eight hours a day . I've never worn bug spray . I bathe in it now.
