Bees/Pollinators

originally posted some time before july 08: I'm not noticing any honeybees at all and I live in a very rural and isolated area. i thought at least here they would not be in such decline. there are insects pollinating things, though, because the peach trees are loaded. and in my garden there are tiny bee/wasps visiting flowers. if you don't have bees, what kind of pollinators are you noticing?

070708- update - on Saturday the buckwheat in my garden was full of honeybees! but they were not there on Sunday. Maybe they were just passing through, but to see them even for a little while was a good indicator and hopefully they will set up residence somewhere nearby. I am still not seeing them like I used to on the wildflowers or anywhere out where I live.
