Typically as I was filming a very large bee flew away, but we have wasps in the garden too..in December!
My sister's dog had a nasty swelling on her foot yesterday and wondering if was stung..meds helping..believe bees/wasps more prone to stinging now with food more scarce?

Why such an active jetstream?
Very cold air N America meeting warmer air NW Atlantic fuelling the jetstream
A strong jet can engage with low pressure systems and provide an ideal environment for the lows to deepen, producing more wind/rain
