I think the same one came back today. Last year was a bad year for butterflies. Solly Mack Jul 2018 #3

I'm not seeing the diversity of pollinators. No Bumblebees, but some Carpenter Bees. alfredo Jul 2018 #5

Fewer bumblebees here. Maybe seen 4 so far this summer. Usually see more. Solly Mack Jul 2018 #6

As yet I haven't seen a bumblebee. alfredo Jul 2018 #7
