You are in Ohio, is that right? We are seeing more than that here in western Massachusetts -- plenty of wasps, hornets, yellowjackets -- but not many honey bees. That is so terribly sad, Aeris!

This year I have only seen one, and oddly managed to get stung by it, and the wild clematis near our house is overly sweet and dripping nectar. No bees to consume it, I guess. Someone suggested that I leave out rotting fruit to attract bees that would in turn pollinate the heavy flowers in my garden. Sad to report it was to no avail.
