Whole bunch of honeybees

I was visiting a neighbor in Lafayette Place on Saturday and noticed she had a whole bunch of honeybees crawling all over her pink-flowered sedum plants.

Don't think I've seen that many honey-makers in one place for at least a couple of years now.

Anyone else seeing more bees these days?
