Every summer I have always been annoyed by the bees and wished for their demise. Never did I think they would actually go away and our whole agricultural system would suffer.

Where HAVE they gone??

The bees are at my house...
We bought some property in New Cumberland, Pa 2 yrs ago.
The first summer (right after we moved in) there wasn't much for fruit on the pear tree or the cherry tree. The rasberry bushes produced a fair amount of fruit
Last year was the same, maybe worse.
.This year something has changed. We planted 2 (young) apple and another (young) pear. Well, the bees are back!!! Our (older) pear tree is FULL of fruit. There must be hundreds on this old tree. The (sour) cherry tree is older and produced about 15 gal of fruit. Our rasberry plants have spread like wildfire and our grass is full of clover & honey bees.
Don't know what changed but on my property, the bees are a welcomed sight. -
