Depends how loose those shorts are...Who wants to have to pull the tinnies out of the fridge for sore nads?

Michael Bush:
If there are wax combs hanging from the lid of the compost bin, then they are probably honey bees.  If the bees are down in the compost, more likely they are bumble bees or ground hornets.

philinacoma:
Hi Michael,

They were definitely honey bees. We don't have bumble bees or ground hornets. Other than honey bees, the only thing that it could be here would be European Wasps which are more likely to be in the compost rather than hanging off the lid.
