Chris 2,153 Posted May 22, 2021 Is there an exceptional lack of honeybees this year? I didn't really notice until a neighbor texted me to ask that question. I hadn't really paid it much attention until she brought it up and it's got me thinking. I'm not really seeing honeybees like I would expect to this time of year.

Adam 372 Posted May 23, 2021 in my mowing i have noticed they did not seem to be as prevalent as in the past. former co-worker caught two swarms this week, though it was from their own hives.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 2,153 Posted May 23, 2021 Yeah same here. They’d normally have been working the dandelions and I didn’t see any. I don’t know that I’ve seen a honeybee at all yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hal 340 Posted May 23, 2021 I have an idea that , on keeping track , everything seemed to tuck back in during the cold snap . Our apple trees held back blossoms as did most trees , dandelions came on a little late as well . But when the tres started blossoming the bees ignored dandelions for the most part , heading into the woods to get to the Maples , Locust etc . Everything just seems to be about two weeks late this year . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
