There is an old walnut tree at the end of our lane that has had a bee hive for quite a few years but kind of intermittently the last few years. Two years ago there were some very small bees in it; don't know anything about them but they were quite small and a lot of them.
Catalpa trees remind me of the wood lot that my grandfather planted back in the late 1800's. Some black locust too that they used for fence posts. I could never drive fence staples into the dried locust posts when we had to repair fence. Catalpa was relatively soft and didn't last as long as the locust. Neither lasted like the hedge / osage orange posts though. In later years we cut a couple of catalpa and hedge logs and made some boards out of them. The hedge is very yellow but will darken to a red-brown in light.
Sorry to get off the bee topic.
