I've watched their numbers drop up here in Ogemaw county like a rock. Such a shame. I enjoy bees (except for yellowjackets). The loss of these pollenators will be detrimental to all habitats, including our own.
Hey, Cindy - I had to search for Ogemaw County to find out where it was in Michigan - but now I know! I hadn't really thought about bees before I read the first article on this topic a couple years ago, but immediately realized that while I used to see honeybees in the yard all the time as a child, it had been a long, long time since I'd last seen one.
