Did any of the gardeners that got poor production from their plants notice whether they had a lots of honeybees or very few bees?

I haven’t noticed a difference but there was a beekeeper that wanted to snag a swarm last year that was on the tree in my yard.He said disease had killed off alot of bees.I didn’t ask anymore about it.I figured it was none of my beeswax.
The only plant I had trouble with was a cantelope.

A very cool and unusually rainy Spring kept the bees down and my apple crop is really weak and puny.

I have not seen many honeybees for several years. Orchard bees are left to do the pollinating.

I’ve had a lot of bees. My corn didn’t pollinate as well as it could have, but of course corn is wind pollinated. It was the heat wave that disrupted some of the pollinating. So far, everything else is doing fine. I seem to be getting a lot of pumpkins and squash forming.

I didnt see many bees pollinating my plants this year but I had plenty of butterflies and moths that did that job. My garden failed for other reasons :P

I have a lot of roses and I saw a lot of bees, it seemed. This is Alberta. I read an article talking about a virus or bacteria that was killing bees. Maybe our winters are helping us.
