Where are all the bees?!
Ok, I give -- where are all the bees?
I live in SW Ohio, Zone 6. EVERY year, without fail we have bees galore -- honey bees mostly, but a fair smattering of bumbles as well. This year, all of my trees and plants bloomed beautifully. I let the grass and weeds grow in -- they all bloomed (the wild violets nearly covered my front yard -- it was amazing). The Crab Apple had a HUGE display. In any other spring season, these trees and plants are just COVERED with bees -- when we walk down the sidewalk to the cars, we have to dodge the bees they're so plentiful. This year, I have seen TWO bumble bees -- both of them inside my parents' house. That's it -- I have seen a few wasps, a few hornet/yellow jacket types, and that's it. I've seen no pollinators at all. The trees have lost their blooms and are leafing out (if not already fully leafed out), the weeds have lost their blooms, and the early blooming flowers are gone. What one earth happened to the bees? James |
