Was out checking my garden this morning to find quite a few various bee species hanging around. It's nice to see them again because I remember it was not too long ago that 97% I believe it was of the north american bee population were wiped out by some strange colony collapse disorder virus thing, can't seem to remember the details.
But bottom line is I am so glad to see them coming back in full force, was afraid they were going to have to hybridize our american bee's with the verlle african bee just to keep food pollination up. How do you feel about our buzzy little friend? Seen him in your garden yet?
What tips (if any) do you use to attract bee's to your garden?

). Anyway, I watched some earlier today, they had found a hole in the bottom of a chair outside and were making a home in there. Last year we had a few hundred of them make a home in behind the bricks of our house. Needless to say they, creep me out a bit since then. Never saw so many in my life!
, especially bumble bees - they seem to try and say "Hi" when they hoover in front of you and pause. I remember re-energizing tired bees with saucers of sugar water when I was a child.
