Was at least 2” long and had a huge spike on its bottom. It was probing the spike into the tire treads. Really a very large insect for here. The biggest wasp-like thing I’ve ever seen in person.

these bees were swarming in a patch on the road above hearts, desire beach. I heard from a ranger that the hive had fallen to the road. Very curious why they would persist in staying there unless the queen was injured or something.
