im not a great news watcher but have seen several reports of bee numbers diminishing in recent years.
i have bushes and trees such as cherry laurel and may blossom and azaleas covered in flowers in recent weeks, many finishing already, but i have seen very few honey bees. i have seen a few bumble bees and one or two honey bees hut nothing like i would have expected. hopefully other insects are pollenating. the berries will tell later i suppose.
is this a genuine disaster or seasonable/regional? where are the clouds of droning bees we used to get? what do you see in your gardens?
