Default Bumblebee disease?

Over the last few days I've found several dead or sluggish bumblebees,
in my garden and in my father's about 1/4 mile away.

No signs of anything wrong, except the sluggish ones just aren't moving,
and one of them seemed unable to move his back legs.

This is too many bees to be natural causes. Anyone any ideas?



I haven't seen any bumbles this year yet but I have seen a lot of
honey bees.
