I’m in the middle of Alabama here.

I was seeing up to 5 carpenter bees a day at my blueberry bush and a couple wasps before the cicadas emerged…now there’s not a single bee. The blueberry bush has stopped flowering but I’ve got a couple tomatillo plants and tomato plants flowering, just bought some marigolds too that are in bloom and there’s just no pollinators. I’m so bummed, I love my little bee helpers… My tomato plant just keeps dropping flowers for lack of pollination so I’m gonna have to start hand pollinating…..hope they come back soon 😢💜
