More Bees, if you please...

Upper Left: Bumble bee.    Upper Right: Honey bee with pollen cone.   

Lower Left: Honey bee in flight.

We need more bees. Plain and simple... There are hardly any bees buzzing around anymore, and I feel lucky to see one or two per day. This is so depressing considering that the most abundant flying insect of late is the Japanese beetle and the mosquito.
