help! Dying bees in apartment
Hey all, we have found at least 75-100 bees in our apartment over the past month or so. Averaging 5 bees a day lately. They seem to be coming in through a window that is way too high for us to reach, and by the time they make it down to us they seem very sick or have already died. I’ve noticed, too, some have this gray/white almost fuzz on their backs. Can anyone ID what this might be? Is it normal for this type of bee, or do they have some sort of disease?
It’s very sad. I’ve already contacted our building management but no word yet. I’m trying to save the ones I can.
