Hi all!=20
Lots of wild bees here on the farm (South Shore, north of Bridgewater), the=
y started showing up two weeks ago. I put out a flowering lemon tree to get=
some sun, they were all over it. They were out a week before the honeybees=
became brave enough to be out foraging (plus 15*C was the day the honeybee=
s came out around, almost two weeks ago). Also a number of large Queen bumb=
lebees in the past few days, they were out about a week or ten days ago.
This is not an agricultural community in the commercial big-scale sense, so=
there's not much spraying around here. The woodlots around me are private =
and don't get sprayed either, no Xmas tree plantations near me either--all =
those things can cut down on the insects in general.
