I used to get honey bees and bumble bees in my lavender bushes. For the past 5 years or so, only bumble bees showed up.

Haven't found honey bees at all recently. [Anecdotal observation, of course.]

In western NY I have seen an abundance of honey bees, bumble bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets and some little bee like thing. They were all over my flowers last summer.

On an odd side note, my wife pets the bumble bees when they are on the sunflowers and roses. Not sure if it is skill or luck but she hasn’t been stung yet. I cringe when I see her do it.

I used to see honeybees all the time. Haven’t seen one in years. Seems like the only ones around are the ones shipped in by produce farmers.

I don’t know about bees, but I only saw a few butterflies last Summer. Too many lawn chemicals? My lawn is made mostly of green weeds.
