i think there a whole host of factors at play here, climate change due to environmental and human intervention changes, ecosystem changes, atmospheric toxins etc.

There is another kind of bee called a Mason Bee which doesn’t hive but is solitary and does pollinate. They are fascinating—I encourage you to look them up! Unfortunately, they can also be killed by insecticide spraying.

I love watching bees buzzing about collecting their pollen for their hive. Pollinators come in may forms not just bees & all are an important part of our world. Don’t use pesticides, fungicides or even herbicides if you can .. we are made up of similar biological structures it can effect human health to let alone as environmental repercussions. Use the beneficial insects methods if & where possible, nature is sacred.

heavy use of nicotinoids as bug killer has been said to contribute to reduction in bee populations too.

If you want to encourage bees in your garden, plant herbs or anything that goes to flower quickly e.g. Greek basil. I've let it flower and tonnes of bees go there everyday. If we all had just one plant, imagine how beneficial it would be in bringing them back. Let's do it!

I remember CCD from Catholic grade school. That was the public school kids who would come after school for religion class and steal stuff out of our desks.

VividPotion6704,Have a word with the big chemical companies who produce the pesticides that have been shown to be deadly for bees and the policies that continue to allow their use.

Wasps can kill 100 bees each. Also, beet juice in road salt brine gets into the plants.

Tess, true! We leave certain parts of our lawn unmown as well, plenty of bees around the clover and other wildflowers

Pollinate with bubbles are what they're trying now.

MadMarcus1812, use of nicotinoids is named as one of the factors destroying bee colonies.
