A Bee’s Nest Made of Leaves
SUMMARY: Leafcutting bees create nearly perfect round holes in leaves as they collect leaf pieces to construct their nests, typically found in hollow plant stems or logs. These industrious bees cut out circles quickly, gluing them together to form nesting tubes for their larvae. With over 60 species in the southeastern U.S., their unique nesting behavior and role as pollinators are crucial. While spotting them can be challenging, look for small, dark bees near plants with large leaves, as they may quickly cut out their leaf circles. Observing these fascinating bees in action is a rewarding outdoor activity.

SUMMARY: The author humorously describes their struggle with love bugs on their back porch, comparing their abundance to flies in a dairy barn. After sweeping, they perform a makeshift study, counting a few piles and calculating that they’ve swept over 1,100 love bugs. These insects have been prevalent in Florida since 1965 and are found along the Gulf Coast. Each female lays around 300 eggs, leading to high populations. Love bugs are known for flying while mating and sticking to people, causing a nuisance. The author anticipates more love bugs to clear, estimating at least 2,370 still lingering.

SUMMARY: The author expresses a love for fried pork chops, favoring thin, bone-in cuts for an authentic Southern meal. After discovering thick cuts at Rouses that were unsuitable for frying, they decided to smoke the pork chops using hickory wood from a fallen tree. Properly seasoning the chops with Tony’s and Greek seasoning, they allowed the meat to reach room temperature before grilling. The author relies on touch to gauge doneness rather than a thermometer. Smoked chops pair well with David Chang’s Momofuku ramen and various sides, making them a versatile and delicious option for dinner.
