I haven't noticed, and was about to reply with a story about the declining bee population. But a quick Google search says that yes, the bees are back in town

There's a WaPo article too for those who want that
A part of the problem is importing bees people think are "more efficient". The old reasoning was that American bees were clunky and not as rapidly efficient as European bees, so the latter were brought over, but not only did this cause the American ones to be threatened by competition but also that vegetation swayed in favor of what European bees preferred while things only American bees would've pollinated waned. It's those European bees who are hording after me while I'm outside.
