Been gardening for nearly 20 years and the last two years I have not seen a SINGLE honeybee. Not one for 2 years. Absolutely terrifying to me.
Bumblebees are still doing well but they dont like the same plants honeybees do. I’ve had to use a brush this year to manually pollinate plants that I used to not have to.
Whatever the cause, they are definitely disappearing and this will cause serious issues on large farms.
N=1 is not indicative of anything.
I’m not saying that there might not be a problem either.
