Bees of the wild, wild, west....
For some reason, this pollen accumulation immediately brought to mind a pair of bright yellow, wooly chaps. Highly fashionable!

Yes, Trez chick.
So how do you pronounce "chaps"? Big Cowboy Steve prefers "shaps", since the word derives from chaparral.

Must be Cowboy Steve chewing gum,
unable to pronounce the Spanish 'ch' (from 'chaparro'), as in church.
Quickly say chic chick in chaps chewing chicle.

Waaal, Podner, Cowboy Steve has some august company.
And this is the month for it. Noted then-folk, now-cowboy singer Ian Tyson, who hails from the great north, has it shaps. So does his fellow singer Tom Russell, SoCal born and raised.

You bring up an interesting point...
I had always pronounced them with the hard "ch" sound, but given the etymology of the word, I think I will now pronounce them as your cowboy friend does.
