Saw one good sized tent a couple years ago while driving along RT 20. Thought, Oh Boy here we go again, but never saw any others that whole season.

You betcha---I've got a couple big cherry trees down by the barn that they used to destroy for yrs. This year they're all blossomed out & we'll see how we do cherry wise. :)

I'll mail you some if you miss them. :P There are plenty here.

On a side note I didnt notice any apple blossoms this year but had pear blossoms. I was in a mild drought most the spring though.

Maybe they did not like their neighbors.

Haven't had any for a few years, but we have found 4 nests on the farm in the past 2 weeks....we burn them out...seems to work well.
