We have MASSES of REALLY heavy scented roses on our balcony, and around the terrace. We have three Lime trees in FULL flower in the garden, along with two horse chestnut and a couple of cherry trees.

We have had 30°c regularly for three weeks now. The smell of the trees and flowers is like being stoned.

BUT we have not seen ONE bee or wasp!!!

I have not seen 'owt in the press regarding this, EXCEPT for the "failing to return to nest" problem. (But that was LAST year)

So IS there a general European lack of bees/wasps this year, or are we in Berlin imagining it?

I admit to being concerned.
