Honeybees moved into my backyard recently. I guess they somehow attract a lot of different wildlife in some mysterious way, because we now have cardinals, blue jays, possums, chipmunks, and marble lizards living back there too.

For context, I live in Ridgewood Queens, so this feels absolutely insane. Loving every second of it but god damn

I've found that it's bringing the bugs back in general that causes this wave. Perhaps you or someone near you has planted some new stuff, or let some stuff grow wild. Like someone stopped mowing, and suddenly the bugs have a place to live and explode.
