Depressing as it is, thank you for the post NightGaunt49 - I am in the US and have been seeing fewer and fewer bees every year. My garden and property are totally organic, so I do get visitors and I am not adding to the problems, but this was grim reading :-( The next time I find a nearly dead bumble I may have to check to see if the same problem is happening here. I was fortunate enough to have a hand in helping a swarm get ready for winter last fall (long story) and I just hope it wasn’t a case of too little too late. If they come back this spring I will be so happy!
