We have various types of bees here. There are honey bees, bumble bees, and tiny green bees, to name a few. The honey bees across the U.S. are in a crisis. There are thousands of hives that are trucked around the country to pollinate crops. But, many of those bees have died. No one knows exactly why, but I suspect pesticides and other agricultural chemicals. We are having a lot of bats dying too. The bats have contracted a very strange disease that keeps them from properly hibernating. I suspect pesticide laden insects may be compromising the immune systems of the bats. It looks like your bees are healthy though. :) Nice flowers and bees! We have various types of bees here. There are honey bees, bumble bees, and tiny green bees, to name a few.
