Has anyone else noticed an explosion of bees lately? (lemm.ee)

I might as well ask this since I got stung or bit by a bee yesterday during America day.

Last year, when taking strolls, it was rare enough for a bee to swarm around me that I could go whole strolls without it happening sometimes.

This year, they swarm around me everywhere. Everywhere. It's like fighting your way through putty patrollers. They respawn instantly, there's absolutely no lag. Shoo one away and one comes back five seconds later. Sometimes for three hour strolls encompassing six miles.

What the heck happened? Anyone else notice this?

Not so much bees, but I have noticed an uptick in fireflies the past few years which I have enjoyed.

Opposite situation here. I've seen literally 1 so far this year. A decade ago we would've been seeing thousands a night.

A decade ago I barely saw any. Two decades ago, there would be nights where you could see by the amount of light the absolute insane number of them would put out. Now, I'm seeing a decent amount, nothing like 20 years ago, but way better than it used to be.

Yes, I've noticed those too. There are so many of those here it's like being inside a fantasy background.

I used to see them every year, but I haven't seen one in something like eight years now.
