I also have noticed a lack of bees this year. Though now that I let my mint go to seed, I have loads of bees and butterflies. But they need to be in back yard in garden. Next year I am going to plant mint, and other types of flowers around garden in hopes to attract more bees. The rain was bad this year and my tomatoes will not turn red. Mint will be in flower pots as it tends to take over.
