I live in one of the suburbs of Michigan where flowers are plentiful. However, on my own property where flowers are plentiful I have not seen any bumblebees. I have specifically planted and nurtured flowers that will attract the bumblebee, but I have not seen any to date. Last year we had several bumblebees, but this year they are nowhere to be found. Neither red roses, nor pink & white peony have done the trick. I hope my butterfly bush will bring them out. I fear our friends the bumblebee is in serious danger. I will keep my eyes peeled for the busiest buzziest worker in my garden.
