Re: [SG] Honeybees

Interestingly enough, there was a honeybee on my echinacea yesterday
evening. A friend who was also in the yard and who is very knowledgeable
about wildlife of all kinds said that she did not know of any beekeeperes
in our area (how far do they travel? I forgot to ask) but that the wild
ones are just about gone. She saw the animal and confirmed it was a
honeybee, however.
