Last year, our flowers were teeming with all kinds of bees, honey, solitary, bumble. Strangely, later in the season we saw a lot of bees, but the honey bees were really sluggish as they fed on the flowers. They just did not act right.

This year, I have not seen many sluggish bees, but the numbers have dropped dramatically since last year. I may see only one or two bumbles in an area, where I had countless numbers last year.
