Re: CULT: new topic: bees

Hi,

I saw bees in my strawberry patch but they must be a mutation.  Instead of
yellow and black, these babies were black with white markings.  Not just
once but several different times over the summer.

Anyone ever seen these? they were not interested in the Iris earlier.
