They've been MIA the last two years here in TX, too. I've got a large patch of squash and zuchini, so there are a few, but it ought to be a constant buzzing IMO.
Poser said:I guess I am relying on the ants to handle pollination this year. -haven't seen a single bee anywhere in or around the garden. Last year was noticeably slim as far as bee appearances.
Anyone having the same problem? If there is a mass die off of bees, for whatever reason, and we are beginning to experience the tangible side effects (no bees to pollinate), then we are going to be in a world of hurt on a large scale in coming years.
