My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Bee & Beehive Identification

19 years ago

Suddenly this tiny beehive popped up in a maple tree in my backyard. A bee I saw go in it was at least half the hive's height. I don't know if the hive is still in progress, or there are only two bees in there at the moment... which is probably impossible. A bee I saw go in it had a hairless abdomen and a fuzzy, yellow head, as I recall. I didn't get a very good look at it.
