I don't raise bees, but this year I noticed the absence of honeybees and the new arrival of carpenter bees. At first I thought they were bumblebees but they bored holes in the shed trim and my neighbors house trim. I have never seen them here before. (LI NY) And the wasps (both black and yellow) that normally show up in the summer are missing. The fruit trees did pollinate this year.
