Acting locally--the small garden by the small front walk to my house has, among other things, Joe Pye weed and lavender. I have seen bees recently buzzing around both, and two bees in the lavender this afternoon.

Planning to add other bee-attractive plants, such as bee balm and likely more lavender.

That may be indicative of the problem.

Of course, I don't know how big your lavender plant is, but two bees around a lavender isn't many.

I have a lavender border all the way along the front of my house, and ten years ago it used to be alive with bees.

Not so many now...
