20,000 and 40,000! I am having heart palpitations just imagining!
Any given day when I'm outside gardening I will see and come across maybe 6-10 bees over the course of the hour or two; but if I heard buzzing of this magnitude, I think I would run for cover.
I know about pollination and without these little guys, my garden wouldn't flourish or produce, so I'd rather wait until they're done doing their thing then I can get back to mine.
I always learn so much from your daily posts!
