Hal, How very odd. We are not seeing many bumblebees, but had plenty of
honeybees in the spring. We seem to have some really big early attractions
for honeybees but never see many later in the year when so many plants are
blooming closer to their homes I guess. I'll bet you are just on a
different cicada cycle and may have them show up next year. Did you have
them exactly 17 years ago, or only about 17 years ago? Donna
