Honey Bees

16 years ago

Hi, after watching the PBS story on bees, I am wondering if y'all are seeing any or many bees in your garden. I have only seen one this year.

You wanna see bees, try putting a couple of soft drink cans with drink still in them, outside.

Doesn't take long.

Rick, I agree, lol
Lee, I have just as many bees as I ever have, it just took them longer to get here this year and then during the weeks of rain they were sparce but all came back when it dried out a little

I had lots of bees early, when the Carolina jasmine was in bloom, then very few for about a month, then they came back in droves. They are still here along with lots of those big black carpenter bees.

Still here as well. Thanks Jim, I didn't know what the big armor plated ones were :).
