Photo: Diane Edwardson, September 23, 2014. This morning, I heard a loud buzzing sound about 50' ahead on the trail near Adelbert. (Click on photos to enlarge.)
A large box box had either been shoved or had fallen down the hillside from a backyard on Adelbert. Bees were swarming angrily around the box & on the slope.

The angry bees are midway between the large Coast Live Oak Tree (the large, dark green tree to the right of the arrow) & the path leading up to Adelbert (a.k.a. "the Adelbert cut-through"). It's also about 25' from the log with an established bee hive inside. This was about as close as I got.

It is probably best not to aggravate the bees further while they establish a new home. It is unlikely they are Africanized Bees or we would have heard of attacks in our very urbanized area.
