Hi Jim & All, June 9, 2007
I don't know about other places but there continue to be a normal
complement of bees (Honey and many wild species) in the yard this year.
Friday (June 8, mid-afternoon) the Strawberry patch (Vee Star;
planted 1988 [yes, cropping year 19 ! ] & crowded by huge willow but
still going strong) had more wild bees than I have ever noticed there,
on average at least 5/metre square.
