Hello, On the outskirts of Halifax there are lots of ants here,  and =
bees as well.  Some people have them in their homes also.
Maybe just the way the temperature is affecting your area this year.
Suggestion--Take a peek under some heavy stones and see if there's any =
activity, and maybe the bees are coming out later in the day.  The =
temperature is hottest here between 2pm- 4 pm, not the usual noon hour.

  Subject: [NatureNS] Ants


  Hi Folks:



  I have made a discovery. Please check your area for the Formicidae =
family. I have no large black ants and I found a very few  of the =
smaller size on my driveway. No ants at all on my tree trunks,or =
flowers.



  Re. bees I found none except for one big bumble-bee this morning. It =
had difficulty clinging to the wild rhodora blossom. It kept falling =
down and flying back attempting to gather nectar ,in a sunny area. No =
other bees in my garden or on my blooming apple tree.  Yesterday my =
friend checked her blooming 3 apple trees and one cherry tree and did =
not find any bees.  This is serious, what can we do about it. Is anyone =
looking for the cause and are there more insects affected?
