For those intrepid hikers (in this heat you're just crazy) going up Woodside, be warned that there are 3 beehives set up beside the road up. They're fenced in and topped with an electric wire. The last one is near the spur road to launch. There were a couple of guys in bees suits doing some kind of Bee business. They had the bees pretty riled up so we rolled up the windows as we rolled slowly by.
I don't what it's all about - maybe some kind of Bee cult setting up .

I noticed the hives last time I went to launch. Fortunate I was in a 4x4 and did not have to take my glider up in my car. I have to park before the spur road. I used to use the spot the bee hives are now in.

Bummer.
We lost a little parking spot that could hold 2 maybe 3 vehicles that could not make it the final distance to launch.

1. What's to say they don't end up at launch as well?
2. Would anybody be able to do this along a forest service road or is a permit required?

Its just a matter of time and Whinne the Pooh will have his paws into the hives.

In al my experience. Don't piss them off. Stay away from thier hive and they will ignore you. Honey bees are usually more relaxed than wasps. Shouldn't be any problems.
