This sounds like a good citizen science opportunity for any bee enthusiasts:

I've only ever found one bumble bee nest in my yard years ago. That was sooooooooo cool to observe that summer.

Today I was supposed to cut my field at work. All the white Clover is blooming right now. I walked through and saw all the Bumble bees diligently collecting nectar from the clover.

Need less to say, the grass is still high! I'm gonna be in trouble!  :sore:  :sore:
