Answer 2

Answer 3

Are you assuming the bees packed their suitcase and left town?  What type of bees are you referring to?  I know where a large number of bumblebees and yellow-jackets are lying dead.  They didn't starve to death; they died of an overdose of.............horror of horrors, CHEMICALS.  The bumblebees were chewing holes in the wood on the house and I decided the little pests weren't worth the price of a house.  The yellow-jackets were nesting under a tulip poplar tree and attacked my husband and dog........the died the same way the bumblebees did.  

A couple of nests covered with wasps were in my carport.  Yesterday afternoon, they met the same fate as the bees.  No funeral service is planned.

Answer 4

no but i know where theres a colony of live ones there breeding in my neighbours waste pipe at the front of his house anybody know a way off getting rid of them

Answer 5

About 150,000 people die every day... I'm not seeing their bodies anywhere....

Maybe only half the bees are dying and the other half are busy attending bee funerals and wakes...

Answer 6

Bees don't travel in groups, so when they die there would not be a pile of them to be noticeable.  How often have you noticed a dead bug on the ground?  Since bees sleep in bushes here in our garden (inside flowers many times or outside on them), they would probably also die there and fall under the bush.

One way to help out is to avoid pesticides which are now being linked to their deaths:

Answer 7

i haven't seen loads of dead bees, maybe they all get trodden on and stuff.

poor little dudes...

Answer 8

aaaw i like the wee fluffy creatures too!

Answer 9

the dead ones get eaten very quickly - bird snacks.

i am worried; i have a quarter of the number of bumble bees as a few years ago, and have not seen one hive bee yet this year. (hampshire)

Answer 10

Ironically, we were driving & we had hit something, a swarm of bugs: we didn't know what they were, until my husband went to clean his grill on his truck: well they were bee's.

Ironic that you should ask this, as my husband watched something on U-Tube last night, in regards to this very thing.

My husband is a beekeeper & wants to get back into it: & use various friends properties to do this as we do not have enough land where we live to do this, as we live in a townhouse.  Not for the sake of life, because my husband doesn't believe that when the bee's die, that we will die.

Answer 11

Yes I have heard about the decreasing numbers of the bees.  It's quite sad to hear but I can't say I have noticed loads of dead ones anywhere.

One way we can try to increase their numbers would be to plant nectar and pollen rich flowers in our gardens, or even in our planters and window boxes for those of us who haven't got gardens.  Details of which plants to use can be easily found online.

Answer 12

YES, I SEE. THE BIG HIVE OF BEES WAS THERE AT OUR LIBRARY ROOF.

for construction works, they all are murdered by flowing some type of poisonous gas on them. i see the heap of them.

Answer 13

Saw many dead ones on the cruise ship each time we docked in Kauai.   Don't know what it was, but they seemed to like the white paint there and just died instead of leaving after finding out it wasn't good to eat.

Answer 14

I haven't seen many bee's at all this year, it certainly spells bad news if their numbers are on the decline.

I think we should all be planting more flowers to encourage them into our gardens.
