Why would take a picture if the skeleton were normal sizes? They took the pics because something was abnormal.
[doublepost=1568129176][/doublepost]Lets see what the history says...will dig up on some info

Quite candidly, I very much doubt that these pictures are real; I would imagine that some tweaking has taken place.

I have confirmed that the bees are nested in my wall. It is much more than a scouting party... My home is almost 150 years old, so I can imagine this is going to be an extensive network.

Ah.

That is pretty much what I had assumed to be the case.

To my mind, this calls for a professional, because you will need someone who knows what they are doing - an expert in the field - to persuade the queen to move on, otherwise the hive will stay to defend her.
 
They are yellowjackets. I will be calling an exterminator to deal with them. I can tell it is quite a large hive, as if you kneel in front of the window you can hear them buzzing. If they were honeybees, I would be interested in letting them free.

So, they are wasps, not bees?

Wasps have a similar social structure to bees, one where the queen is dominant, and the key aim will be to persuade her to want to leave the hive, whereupon the swarm will accompany her.

Anyway, best have this dealt with by an expert.

Wasps? They can be persistent. I’d consider a professional.
I dealt with mine, but they were just under the barge board. I just sprayed the entrance every morning and evening. But I didn’t hang around to watch the results!
 
A fair point; it really pushes the bounds of believably that somebody would take pictures of normal skeletons.

The underwhelming truth has gotta be mega humans.
I think they are regular size skeletons.
Just photographed with really small people!

I blame you! You brought it up last weekend. Damn you.
If it’s any consolation I’m thinking of them too! But I’ve already had this months treat. A loaf of bread.

If they are Yellowjackets, that's an order of magnitude more concerning that most other wasp/hornet species, they're very aggressive, don't get anywhere near the nest. Definitely get a professional in ASAP.

If you believe in Dinosaurs then you should believe in Humansaurs too :D:eek:

Have you ever seen live Dinosaurs ? No of course not.
But we've seen megahumans in real life such as

Photo shop, perhaps.

Meanwhile, chateau moi, dinner - a homemade chilli which is simmering away nicely - is on my mind.

Photoshop? But when scientists found Dinosaurs skeleton we didn't say its photo shop did we?

If there were sea, air and land Mega animals such as Dinosaurs , birds and others why not humans?

The earth is billions years old so anything is possible.

Sigh.

No.

Just no.

Don't be so dismissive, SS, and answer the question! Why didn't we suggest that humans who first discovered dinosaur bones and fossils millennia ago were really just using photo manipulation software from 30 years ago? Why?!

Next you'll be saying that smart watches had no real effect on the timepiece market!
