y’all keep an eye out, i went up dobbs’ west ridge yesterday and got dive-bombed by a swarm of bees at around the 8,800′ level. apparently there’s a new hive/nest close to the “trail” (it’s one of the areas where the trail is more defined). ran like hell and still got stung once. my hiking partner said i had a swarm of around 20 circling my head.
