I’ve had three conversations about bees this week. First my 28yo daughter was talking about no mow May. She gave up and mowed her yard. 2nd, I’ve been seeing plenty of bees in my garden/orchard this spring and 3rd my brother was mowing under a flowering tree at his house. He had to get off the mower to pick up a stick and literally said the tree was buzzing with bees. This was all different environments but it appears bees are thriving in south/central Mich. My brother lives at a lake, my daughter in the city and I’m rural.
