I'm really interested in hearing how the bee populations are doing where you live this season. Personally, I'm in Ottawa, and after a super cold winter and prolonged chilly spring, I've noticed fewer bees around than usual. How about you? What's the weather been like in your area, and have you observed any changes in bee numbers?

In Illinois, I've definitely seen fewer bees this year, but on a positive note, there are a lot more dragonflies around, which I found surprising! I’ve planted various flowers in my vegetable garden corners to attract bees, and now I’m thinking I should add more bee-friendly options to help out. That said, it’s about bringing the bees back, right?
I’ve noticed more dragonflies too! It’s such an interesting change.
