I might as well ask this since I got stung or bit by a bee yesterday during America day.

Last year, when taking strolls, it was rare enough for a bee to swarm around me that I could go whole strolls without it happening sometimes.

This year, they swarm around me everywhere. Everywhere. It’s like fighting your way through putty patrollers. They respawn instantly, there’s absolutely no lag. Shoo one away and one comes back five seconds later. Sometimes for three hour strolls encompassing six miles.

What the heck happened? Anyone else notice this?

    Not so much bees, but I have noticed an uptick in fireflies the past few years which I have enjoyed.

      Opposite situation here. I’ve seen literally 1 so far this year. A decade ago we would’ve been seeing thousands a night.
