How the postman knows it’s springtime

That, readers, is an active bee hive. It’s been there for as long as I’ve been on this route. It’s how I know springtime has really started and the reason I put up my hair under my hat before I end the day (it being my final house).

It’s also how I teach new postal workers to be aware of their surroundings. Yes, I stood in the middle of a swarm to get this photo. Bees don’t bother me as much as wasps.
