I am happy to say that I am seeing more Honey Bees this year....

Last year I rarely saw ANY bees....and I have 5 Rose of Sharon trees that would be covered in them. I am happy to see some buzzing around this year.

 

I used to wonder why they weren't around and I saw the documentary "Vanishing of the Bees" and I got concerned...

I have just started to see a few yesterday. But we have had a very rainy June and that may have had something to do with it. Concerned also.

Just started seeing a lot of them on some blooming flowers in my garden. We've had a lot of rain this year. I'm one of the few yards on my street that doesn't get some sort of chem-lawn treatments.

Glad to hear they're on the rebound.  Keep doing what you're doing.

We are just getting flowers in bloom now and there are lots of bees I am happy to say. The bees never bother me in the garden. We work side by side happily! LM
