black mason bees, birds out the wazoo, but no bumbles or honeybees. We've got bats, raccoons, lots of hawks and deer. Armadillos are up here in the foothills, too. Haven't seen any possums this year (except those killed by cars on the highway) or snakes. I belong to a snake identification page on FB and there are still plenty of snakes in GA.
