The Secret Lives of Bees...

Not to do with walking/hiking i know, but interesting just the same...These pictures sent by a local woman are...amazing!

she heard a buzzing noise one day and found THIS in her tree...apparently, its the queen bees fault for wandering outside of the hive...and all the worker bees then followed...a local beekeeper was able to rescue the bees after 2 attempts...

Blacks Pond

Blacks Pond Picnic Area is located on the Custer National Forest in the Custer National Forest. It is in the middle of a watchable wildlife route and the pond itself is home to several different species of wildlife.

There are two campsites with a handicapped accessible toilet. No fee required. No water available. Fish and Game stock this pond with rainbow trout. We were not fortunate enough to have caught any but they did seem to enjoy our worms...lol...Directions: Blacks Pond is located 17 miles south of Ashland. From Ashland, travel east 0.75 miles to the Birney turnoff (Tongue River Road). Travel 8 miles south to the O'Dell Creek turnoff. Turn east and travel 7 miles to the intersection of Forest Road #4021 and Forest Road # 4131 then turn right onto #4021 and travel 0.5 miles to Blacks Pond.
