I had a cold and rainy spring and it took a long time before the honeybees appeared. There was even a lag for the bumblebees to appear.

I tell you my friend that I really fear a summer or more when the bees never show up again.

In the meantime, I will try to attract Mason Bees with a Mason Bee Barn.

Thanks for your post!

Bringing back the native bees

"Everyone knows that honey bees are in trouble. But it turns out there is a whole world of lesser-known bees that could change the way we farm, garden and interact with nature. Meet California's native bees and the people who study them and help teach the rest of us about these amazing little but immensely important creatures."
