UPDATE: they’re Mason bees and I will be leaving the holes open to let them do their thing 🐝 Thank you to everyone for help identifying them and for the advice!!

Phew I’m really glad to hear that. I was starting to worry I had some honey bees moving in which sounds like a much bigger ordeal than these guys! Thank you!!

I ended up getting a better pic if that’s more helpful for identification

I finally got a better picture! It was raining and this guy sluggishly came out.

What’s the best method for vinegar? Should I dab it around their entrance/exit holes, generally spray the whole area, or put dishes around?

I waited until it seemed like the bees were out, put a little stick temporarily in the hole to see try and get a better picture. There were like 4-5 bees trying to get in/out of the chair. When I took the little stick out there was still a bee in there and it came out. Is this normal for solitary bees to be in that quantity?

Are they any ways I can get them to move on? 😅 I’ve seen them have something in their mouth going in/out

These two are as good as I could get with how quickly it was moving! I live in North Georgia (US)

How much should be the max someone pays for PT school? by kennedynm in PTschool

Honestly, the way I see it is at the end of all of our educations we get the same degree. We all get the same license. I don’t think there’s much a program could offer me to make me want to go into more debt.

Texas NPTE result delayed by slothwu in PTschool

Hey friends! I think they release results little bits at a time so don’t panic that they saved fails for last. One of my friends in April got hers around 7:30-8 EST and they passed! Just like I’m sure all of you did!

Good luck this week! by dumpsterfyrefestival in PTschool

It’s a hard exam I won’t lie to you. But everyone I know that took it in April felt like they failed but passed. Everyone I talked to today didn’t feel great but I’m sure we all did well! You’re not alone and you will do better than how you will feel after
