Re: Dead bees.

Most bees (except for the queen) have a short life span. So it is normal to see the odd dead bee who may have completed his life span.If you see several dead bees they may have been automatically cleared out of a nest to keep it hygenic.At the end of the season usually only the queen will survive and establish new colonies the following season. Other reasons for bee deaths are predatory or parasite attacks.

If you ever see a bee on it's last legs put a drop of syrup by its side and push the bee on it

I was just thinking that on my way home from work today. I saw a quite a few around the same area. Thought it odd.
