The bees seem to be gone

9. Interesting and thank you!

I have a farm. I have only 30-40 acres in hay grass but I have left the rest of the 50 odd acres to grow trees and all manner of wild flowers and several ponds, one big one. It is odd that the last 2 years I have seen few Honey bees and many Bumble bees. I let things grow that they like that other grass farmers try not to let grow and I can barely walk through one of my horse pastures without being surrounded by the bees.

Thanks for this information. My little corner of Kansas has had plenty of rain but we are getting ready to be 110+ next week. I will be happy that the bees had what they did but I have little faith there will be much of it left after this. 100+ this week, 110+ next week. I hope the NOAA article I read was more speculation than real.

A few years ago I tried to locate where the honeybees hive was. I found their drinking spot in one of the ponds and for a long while tried to follow them. They are very interesting. Thank you for the info.
