Yeah, I'd like to know. To me that was one of the most iconic trail markers in all SD.

It was one of the volunteers who donated his flatbed and trailer for the cleanup. I don't remember his name, but saw the rocking horse in the back of his truck under wraps. He promised that, when the time was right, the rocking horse would ride again!

+1 Fo Sure! I just lol on that comment. Give the back the freakin RH.

Cool. Just hope it stays safe and hopefully, hopefully (fingers crossed) we'll get to ride past it again!

Doesn't really seem fair to the bees. Didn't they have a voting representative on the LPCP-CAC?

The bees don't own horses so they don't count.

I saw one tree that had been cut down last week full of dead bees. Didn't realize they were killer bees, I wouldn't have stopped and looked closer, lol.

The real Killer Bee's are riding in a truck with MIssy Giove.

Anybody know if PQ is open again?

Yes


"FYI, The south east trails are now open
Staging area and trails are re-opened. There are a few residual bees in the area but they should be clearing."

Awesome, thanks.

God I hope no horses were harmed in the removal of the bees....

+1 for the bees.

I want her back too.

How do they know they're killer bees? DNA, or was a horsey rider disgruntled by the site of a bee and voted to have them removed too?

Wing shape for one.

From my favorite source of misinformation, Wikipedia: "While the native African bees are smaller, and build smaller comb cells than the European bee, their hybrids are not smaller. They do have slightly shorter wings, which can be reliably recognized only by performing a statistical analysis on micro-measurements of a substantial sample. One problem with this test is that there is also an Egyptian bee, present in the southeastern United States, that has the same morphology. Currently testing techniques have moved away from external measurements to DNA analysis, but this means the test can only be done by a sophisticated laboratory. Molecular diagnostics using the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b gene can differentiate A. m. scutellata from other A. mellifera lineages. Alternatively, a swarm of bees exhibiting hyper-defensive, territorial behavior and donning red bandanas and black leather jackets can positively identify these bees in the field."
