We have a few citrus trees that have been blooming. We had some at the other house, too, and we always enjoyed how the hney bees would frolick doing their pollenation thing.
But the last few days the bees are dying. They are all over the ground in their death throes.
We've obviously done nothing, but are surrounded by large lots which are planted with different crops.
Just wondering if anyone had any insight to bee behavior. I know about collapsed hive syndrom but never experienced it.
BTW: why do dogs like eating these bees and not other insects? Mine go nutso eating them out of the sky like me after flying beef jerky...
