As Denny noted across the pond, lots of wildflowers, but no bees, or anything else?


Where are all the bees and other pollinators? I'm in mid-Missouri, about 90 miles south of St. Louis. A rural area. I'm at the edge of a forest with a mix natural fields, glades and woodland. Normally the various April/May wildflowers would be humming with a mix of bumble bees and various other wild bees, wasps, flies and butterflies. This year? NOTHING. Anyone else in the midwest US noticing such a thing?
