Yes bees, but please also flies, butterflies, wasps, mosquitos (!) and all the weird and wonderful "pests" that used to abound and now are in short supply - For you slightly older people - think about how long it's been since you were on a road trip or long drive and had to stop to clean bugs off the windshield? After my round-trip drive to Long Beach from Shoreline last summer, there were maybe three bug splats. Sad indeed.
