Remember several months ago when we told you about how the keeper set up a director's chair and was letting the maple vines become its back and seat? Here it is today. We didn't try sitting in it because of the buzz. The keeper had finished her painting right around the wall, and heard this loud humming which she thought was the neighbor's air conditioner. Then she was swarmed by bees. When she looked at the wall of maple vines she beheld hundreds of honeybees feasting on the maple fruits...little berries that pop and produce more seeds. The bees were not interested in the keeper or us. They were very busy. But she did tell us sternly to stay away. When they left, all the pods started popping again. Thank God the stain had dried on the deck. It would have made a nice permanent design, though.
