WTH: Where did the bees and butterflies go?
I've been outside working on several DIY projects for the past several weeks and it just occurred to me that I haven't seen a single bee or butterfly outside this year (I live on the East Coast in one of the Mid-Atlantic states). Anybody else?

I have about a million bees a day drinking from my water feature. Arizona.

They're in my back yard apparently. 10 strong honey bee colonies.

I've seen more bumblebees and butterflies this year than in the past 5+ at least.
Yesterday i saw a monarch butterfly, haven't seen one in several years before that.

It's the cats man. Cats are an invasive species and should be shot on sight.

If you care about the environment, then ban cats.

May be something to do with the over- use of pesticides. Maybe the World should start going organic

Re: WTH: Where did the bees and butterflies go?
I have not seen many bees at all in Oklahoma. Lots of wasps, but very little amount of honey bees...

I have a large garden and it did terrible this year due to lack of pollination from bees and butterflies...

Mid Atlantic here.

Plenty of bees and butterflies in New Jersey, near Wharton State Forest.

Not many honey bees, but plenty of bumbles.

Chemtrail spraying is killing everything. Is this what they really want some type of rebirth? I don't get it.

They are where insecticide and pesticides are not. I have 3 acres of clover & grass, no fertilizer, no weed and feed. I have bees, wasps, butterflies, and tons of lightening bugs. Also some bats, which are pretty cool.

Ask Monsanto .... why do they have aluminum resistent seeds ?
Why is aluminum a major component of SRM/SAG programs ? Why did Monsanto recently purchase BEELOGICS ?

I saw ONE bee yesterday and was like "phew....they haven't totally died off....YET".

It's clear that something is killing them.
