Question : my plum tree is, as recently discovered, full of mealybug. Bug also, swarmed by bumblebees lately, could there be a connexion ? I remember when I was a kid that a tree in our garden was nearly dead, then the bumblebees came for like a week or two, and one morning, they were gone, and the tree was flourishing. I wonder if the same is happening here, they feed on the honeydew the cochineal produce, thus kind of help the tree, and will leave when there will be no more, perhaps ? Could I be right ?
