Honeybees seem very active

I have been very pleasantly surprised to see honeybees all over the dandelion blooms this year, already. Last year it seemed I didn't see any at all, til very late in the season, and then very few. Hope this is a good sign for the coming season.

I've only seen 4, but lots of wasps and bumblebees.

My plums are flowering and the bees were all over them yesterday.

That's heartening .. I've not seen very many here.

I've only seen one Honey bee here so far, But, The hornets are surely out allready!

Come over to my house... I'll show you thousands !! LOL

Thousands! Geeze, send some over!!! LOL!

We have had very few here too :( bumble bees yes, wasps and hornets yes but no honeybees. I a, letting the privet flower out this year instead of cutting it , the smell kills my allergies but I am hoping it wil lhelp attract them.

Sadly, as spring progressed the honeybees I wrote about in the original post disappeared!! I, too, am hoping the privet booms will bring them in.

I have, also, surrounded my lot with mountain mint. It attracts all sorts of nectar seekers, maybe it will help. l hope!

I have seen a few. Mostly bumblebees, wasps, and hornets. Also, those gigantic, aggressive whatever's that come out a night too! yikes
