This
#bee
really confused me. It was as big as a very large carpenter bee but definitely looked more like a massive leaf cutter. Turns out to be a
#giantresinbee
. They ARE related to leaf cutters but are Asian, introduced in the 90s. They are consider adventive as opposed to invasive.

Most people don’t think about
#southcarolina
when it comes to the
#blueridgemountains
. Even though only a tiny corner of the state falls in the
#appalachianmountains
it is an incredibly beautiful place. Grateful to live here and, honestly, glad it’s largely overlooked.
