Some more pictures of the practice field today after Joseph's competition flight Brett, allure designer CK Aero, Bryan, Joseph and myself got some mid afternoon practice and got back to see Andrew's flight.
Bees are EVERYWHERE. The country of Switzerland has a very strong emphasis on fostering bee, wasp and yellow jacket populations. They have stung several of the pilots. Joseph has been stung 3 times this week (one time I had to pull the stinger out of his finger in the middle of a maneuver). I have been trying to figure out why there are random wood piles stacked perfectly everywhere. I now realize that they foster bee nests. There is a clover field just across from the runway of the practice field. Bees have been in every restaurant and the competition site. They obviously work hard at pollinating all the fields for better crops. We also came across a stink bug, at least that is what it looked like.
