Thanks for the info and pictures, Elfie.
About two years ago, I think, I had quite a few bees at my kitchen window...many got caught between the window and screen. I took one (it was dead) to a friend who has hives. She said they were honey bees and perhaps they had gotten into the crawlspace. She was gonna bring a "trap" over, but it never happened and I haven't seen them since. In fact when the Carolina Cherry Laurel is in bloom it is usually COVERED with bees, but not this year. However they had a field day on the saw palmetto...I assume they were "the good guys" as they did not mind me bothering that to get pictures.
