many bees around either. Usually in my garden you can hear them there are so many on the flowers I plant amongst the vegetables, but I've only seen a few bumblebees and no honeybees. We had a couple of hummers early in the summer, but I ended up taking down the feeder because something was managing to get to it during the night and emptying it. No idea what. We have all kinds of wild creatures around, so it could be anything.
