User's notes

A fat branch chunk of gum tree had snapped off from high above, and cracked when it hit the ground like an egg, spilling out this huge bee hive. The queen must still be inside as the worker bees were still going in and out. The chunk was about 40cm thick and 1M long. Its hit right on the edge of the track. The bees were not swarming or dangerous like.
