    I'm new around in the forums and I'm wondering what the heck is going on! Wasps or some sort of black bee have been falling from my catalpa tree in my backyard. They sometimes drop in groups and crawl around each other. After they fall they just crawl around. There is not many but enough to notice. If i look up my tree I can actually see some flying around the tree. Is this something to be worried about? I'm just worried it will get out of control. Is there anything I can do? If this is any help i had chopped down some branches about 2 days ago from the tree.

    Does sound a little odd! Maybe the change from wet to hot has made them a bit dopey?
