Love your post about the bees. We are beekeepers and the bees here are not honeybees but do not sting. Please do not spray them. They do no harm, only good!

Pelican--did you ask Cedric about it? I wonder if someone was robbed or something after dark? To me, I think it sounds like a good idea to get out of there before dark. All kinds of human roaches come out when it's dark and no one is around.

For what it is worth, the chairs at Mullet Bay are usually collected around the same time. No gate at the parking lot at Mullet but this could all be for safety reasons with respect to Orient.

...or, you could just park the car over by the carbets to begin with.. But I do think it would be better to not be there after dark anyway.

I also have been stung by the SXM wasps... They dart at you and sting several times. The nests are easy to see and are usually found in the ceiling corners of over hangs. There is a wasp spray that shoots 20 feet that kills the wasps in their nests. Benedryl is always in my purse because I am very allergic to fire ants and wasp stings.

The beach is here in all its glory with no seaweed to prevent walking full length from rocks to papa’s.
New:
Seen a few bees buzzing. Dont look like they are into landing stinging but we don’t recall bees visiting us in the past.
The chair folks do the usual umbrella pickup 330ish to 4 and are encouraging you to actually leave at 430ish. You can stay but you have to move your car outside the lot which they lock with a chain and park by the vacant carbets. I get the feeling its more than a we’re closing thing like it would be a good idea for you to leave.
Not many staying and we normally would. We’ve always been lingerers il near dark before the storm when staying at Club O and last year.
The boutique does not appear open or have anything to sell. Didnt actually walk in.
Burger, fries as good as always.
They have real chair tags like before the storm. Last year it was a memory thing and they were actually hit/miss at collecting everyday.
Alot of familiar and new faces and sone you always see not there yet.
Still the best place on the planet.
The boutique was open when we where there in December.
