The smell might still be there but I haven’t been able to go on those runs in a few weeks

Also by “more foresty sections” I mean a gravel trail through a forest. Large enough for park vehicles, but that’s it

I think I heard somewhere that bees can smell like bananas when they sting and/or as an alarm pheromone so that could it be orrrr there’s a plant that’s smells (flowers?) like bananas
