Hmmm, honey.

You're welcome to come & collect  ;-)

Got the same in one of our trees, but smaller.  Been there for a couple of months & never see them flying.  Had same before in a mango tree, they eventually left.

relevance to CM?

Chiang Mai has a couple of universities with large agriculture faculties - CMU & Mae Jo.  Where do the graduates practise what they learn?   I live out in the sticks & the only people farming I see are the older folk, barely scraping by just above subsistence level, doing the same their ancestors did on land they don't own, except for the fact they now have the use of tractors for tilling the land etc.  Are there any commercial scale farms in the province, apart from the royal projects?  It seems to me that ALL land in the area is now considered prime development land & is priced as such, so what is the future for agriculture around Chiang Mai? 

 

just leave during the worst couple of months.

Wouldn't that be great, the whole population of CM valley heads south for march & april
