Bee's Nest in Clipper

FYI - Yesterday I noticed some larger colorful bees going in and out of the hole in the small electric cord door on the side of my 1976 rear kitchen/bath Clipper. I took the bench seat off above that compartment and found bees. Fortunately it was red tailed bumble bees which are fairly gentle. The hive size for bumble bees is usually 30-40 bees. Wild honey bee hives can get up to over 20K. If you park your Clipper near blackberries or other nectar sources, you may want to cover that opening if it isn't already covered.

that's a bummer - and it never occurred to me - but a Clipper could be a bee's nest heaven!!
