Default More bees about this year?

In the last few days I've seen some honeybees around, which I saw none

I saw very few of those last year. Are bees starting to make a comeback
I wonder?



Some years ago my daughter gave me "bee home" for bumble bees, but so
far no bee has settled in it. Is it too late to do as suggested, catch
a bumblebeee, put it in the bee home, block the exit hole for 30
minutes and hope that it will settle there?
