GET THEM - try to help. Plant all the wonderful SAFE food sources you can for them. Then educate your neighbors and pray the bees don't find something dangerous. I've never thought of beekeeping, but I am thinking of it now.
I saw no bees today. I walked to the store and passed clover, dandelions, no bees. No bees on my rhododendron either. I haven't seen a single bee with pollen on its legs this year. A few bumbles. And a few what I think are mason bees.
