Bees??? Eating elm leaves??

[Tieball]

Hornbeam leaves after or during leaf cutter bee work. The tree grows back perfectly well the next year....until the next cutter bee work.

Kill them bees.

Tough to get a good shot, as it would seem they don't like cig's and rum punch!! Lightweights!!!

Damn!
That's a partial outer canopy defoliation right there!
I like bees, but I like my trees too...

It's just cosmetic. I'd keep the bees

Yep it's time for them to go! Starting to get out of control. Got my battle boots on any I'm loading up the shot gun with Malathion as we speak.

Not necessarily concerned with the Cosmetics of the damage considering all my trees are still in development but more so they health of the trees
