A pair of pale green pants with nobody inside them

And another successful removal!

These ladies were super easy to find (due to the nature of the wall and space) and a breeze to take out, aside for being a bit more developed than I expected. I did catch the queen though so that was a great help in wrangling the rest of them that were flying around.

Well the queen seems to have escaped my queen clip and made residence among the leaves, where the rest of her loyal subjects flocked to as well.

I set an empty box out next to them and watched closely for any sign of her. As soon as I spotted that big red beehind I grabbed her and put her in a cage of my own design, which is much harder – arguably impossible – for bees to open and/or get through. I did keep a few of her closest workers in there with her, so hopefully she will not perish as queens are prone to doing if left alone.

TODAY'S FACT IS

Did you know that the Eastern Cicada Killer Wasp (Sphecius speciosus) is a solitary digger wasp that can be found from the eastern and central US and south into Central America? The females are generally significantly larger than the males, as they have to drag their prey (surprise!! it's cicadas) back to their burrow so they can feed their larvae. Sometimes they'll share a burrow with another female, but they'll have their own individualized cells.

My fiance was fired from their job and I am disabled and currently fighting for disability between appointments with pain management and neurosurgery. We desperately need money to feed us, our cats, and have gas to get me to and from doctors appointments. There's a bony growth near my brain, y'all, I might end up needing surgery to remove it, on top of the other shit wrong with me. Any help is appreciated.

My fiance is looking for a job. I have upcoming appointments with a neurologist and a neurosurgeon. Appointments with doctors assigned to me by Social Security. Lawyers for my disability claim. We are just trying to survive through it.

Please refer to my mutual aid post here. We desperately need food, water, and cat litter. Anything helps, we just want food in the apartment and litter for our two cats.
