It has been very warm this spring. It has been in the 90s more days than not in the past week, with hot winds drying out everything. I am still on the lookout for an increase in the honey bee population. I've only spotted a few honey bees this spring, but there are a lot of sweat bees, which are a variety of different small species of bee which nest in wood, dirt, etc. They are very useful pollinators I've only seen one bumble bee at a time on several different occasions. I've spotted both all black bumble bees as well as the striped ones.
Overall, I am still quite concerned about this year's bee population.
