There was a thread of wasps in obsevatory. Should I send them to you if they begin to trouble me? Do those sleep at nights?

Anyway, the observatory is nice, especially the dome.

No, the bees don't sleep, but they don't fly at night either. They will crawl though. Plus I get free honey!!

Thank you for posting the photos of your fantastic Observatory! You can really be proud of it; it's very, very nice!

Good security system, also.
