I hope that means in your area that the Asian mite and Asian fungal
diseases that has devastated the populations of our beloved Italian
honey bees is coming back....I hope so. I have planted more things that
attract bees than I realized. I desperately want them to survive HERE!
(I have all kinds of pollinators, but the Italians are responsible for
our FOOD!)

Mountain in Eastern Tennessee, zone 7, Sunset zone 36 where there are
still a few people close by who have hives.

Didn't realize that Asians had anything to do with the goombahs'
demise. I always thought the DDT was the culprit from which the
goombah bees never recovered..
Learned something new today.
