Summary
Springs chilly weather is causing a stir in the insect world, with bumblebees struggling to find food due to a lack of flowers. Scientists are noticing fewer insects overall, impacting creatures like tree swallows. Yellowjacket queens are active, scouting for nest spots, and bees are taking risks by nesting in mammal burrows. Ants are busy foraging for food, aerating soil, and serving as a food source. To support pollinators, consider planting a pollinator garden, and to keep ants out of your home, seal up cracks and remove food sources.
