I spotted honey bees in the garden for the first time in several years.
What a
welcoming sight.

Trust me they are not wild.
Someone within a mile or two is keeping managed colonies.
The mites are endemic coast to coast and feral colonies last barely
one winter, if that.

I guess we can only hope that those independent bee's break out into an
environment where those mite's have killed off the food supply.

Wishful thinking from someone who made the mistake to swat a honeybee on
the back of his neck years ago.
