I've been working outside most of the day. I have an old white melamine fold-up picnic table I use for odds and ends (somewhere to put tools etc). The honey bees have been all over it like a rash. Couldn't work out why. I did spill some coffee on it last week (instant, no milk or sugar). I cleaned it up but I guess it might have been that.
I was working with some new(ish) freshly cut decking. They were all over that too. I guess they were after resin for propolis.
They also seemed keen to keep an eye on me. Hovering around, checking me out. No nests in the area (that I'm aware of). Certainly no hives.
Any ideas?
