Is anyone else noticing a distinct paucity of bumblebees this year?  :-\

I spotted one back in April, but haven't seen (or headbutted while riding my bike having failed to see) any since...

I've had loads in my garden. The cotoneaster was a magnet to them. They're clambering inside the foxglove flowers now. (South Warwickshire)
