I'm a bit concerned about the number of dead bumblebees I keep finding in my garden over the last month. I just found another one on my apple blossom this morning. I don't use any type of chemical spray and I haven't seen any agricultural spraying going on round here, so is it this bee virus do you think?
As I have only ever seen about half a dozen honey bees in this garden in the last 5 years, I depend on the bumblebees to pollinate my fruit and flowers. There has usually been a healthy population of both white-tailed and yellow in past years. Any advice would be gratefully received.
