Landscaping and Airsoft

The laurel I know is a bee magnet! It's a bay laurel and when it flowers the bees are all over it. Maybe it depends on the laurel or the location? I am not an expert. 

In my opinion, if you are going to be planting a lot of something which lot's of people will be in contact with and hiding behind then make sure they won't attract bees! I'd rather take a hit from a beebee than a bee ?. 

Also, possibly worth mentioning that bees are protected nowadays, I used to spray chemicals on lawns and on the rare occasion I came across bees nesting then I couldn't spray incase it harms them. So if you developed a proper bee issue then you might find it hard to get rid of them. 

 
That's not meant to be scare mongering though. My parents bay laurel is in a residential areas with gardens everywhere, so bound to have bees about anyway. You may well never have a bee visit. Worth speaking to someone who knows better

You'll never avoid flowers completely. Some laurels are bred for a flower show, and some produce more flowers than others. The flowering period for Laurel is reasonably short if a common variety is picked. March/April, and falls in line with most tree blossoms. The rest of the year they should be free of all flowers.

You clearly know much more than me but still if being on your airsoft site then you might want to look into what the legal situation could be in certain circumstances. I used to work with a guy who reacts really badly to stings. Apparently if he ever got stung in the neck then his throat could swell up and block his airways so would need hospital treatment ASAP and a lot of sites are quite far away from help. He used to carry antihistamines in his tobacco tin incase. You only really know how you react if you've been stung. I am looking at worst case scenario of course but just saying it might be worth looking into.

 
I appreciate all the advice, direction and suggestions on this topic!

 Mate of mine got bit by a mozzy in a game and had to goto hospital as he swelled up like a balloon.

Will probably see you there.

It's a really fun site depending on the games played. Really most of the time the marshalls use the main two "bases" (The US FOB and the Vietnam Village) and have varying attack and defend or capture the VIP games. Have occasionally used a few of the other areas but that's rare. 

If one of your group has a 4X4 you;re in luck otherwise you'll have to slog your kit from the car park up a muddy hill to the SZ.
The site sees a decent player base (60+ on a bad day) with a higher sniper:AR ratio than other local sites definitely would recommend comms if you have them available and ask where the nearest regen is as there are a few which are always in play unless otherwise stated in game brief.View attachment 42033View attachment 42034View attachment 42035ted.

Good man, chances are I'll be the only one in tropic multicam either fielding an M40A5 or an M4. I'll be parked up right by the entrance to the game area (you'll understand when you get there).
