It was strange to see this post after sitting on the deck with my sister and wondering where the bees are too. We have apple trees in full blossom and no honey bees. There is a lot of bumble bees. The trees are just buzzing with them, but it usually is about fifty - fifty. I will know for sure this Fall because I cant walk out back with an open bottle of beer. Did you know bees like beer? At least in the Fall when there food is disappearing and they are aggressive. I had to drop a bottle once because they were all over it and myself.
