They have very few sentinels and I have approached them inadvertently with a 335 husky week eater equipped with a 10" saw blade and that is how I discovered them. I was about to use a 10" saw blade to cut down the brush next to the shed and stopped upon discovering them. Highly aggressive bees would have most likely attacked me.
