No #pollinators. Backyard #food failure.
Southern #Ontario, #LakeErie Shore.
Have not seen a #honeybee here for a couple of years. Until now, other small pollinators have been abundant. Not this year. Hardly any bugs at all.
Picture shows a nice fence covered with scarlet runner beans...been blooming for about three weeks...and only about 4 beans set on the whole thing.
Tomatoes also have hundreds of flowers and only a few fruit set.
Very discouraging for the future.
