Our house is home to a lot of creatures both transient and permanent dwellers. In the evening we usually have bees flying around the light along with other insects.
We leave them alone and try to stay out of their way. As when the morning comes they are out of our way. Today I was shocked to see a lot of dead bees on the floor. While sweeping them I counted a total of 33 bees dead. The cause is unknown to us as this hasn’t happened before.
What do you think killed them? It’s a mystery I want to solve. After all, a documentary said if the bees the the world will die too.

I always have concerns when I see or hear about bees dying. The worldwide bee population is in decline, and we could be in big trouble if the bees all die, since there would be no insects available who could pollinate our trees and plants.

@flapiz I love bees and I am a big fan of them and the work they do. I always encourage people not to bother them and to leave them alone when they encounter them.

@flapiz Bees are very sensitive to man-made and environmental conditions. I'm glad that the bees you saw the next day were alive and well.

Could it be possible that they were killed in a bee battle?

@Miss_Leafy Well that is a good hypothesis though.
