i'm located in northeast florida and if anything, there seems to be fewer
bumblebees this year.  i kind of pay attention to their numbers and have
only seen two this season so far.  one was trying desperately to make a nest
behind the strike plate on one of the outside doors and the other landed on
the ramp of one of my hives.  he lasted a couple of minutes until the HORDE
from inside nailed him.
