We seem to have quite a healthy bumble bee population round our way.
It could be that the flowers that were providing nectar in your area have now stopped flowering and there is nothing to follow at the moment. Bumble bees will fly when it is really quite cold and dark! The wind will not have helped the insects at all. I think like us they are waiting for it to warm up and that awful wind to stop bashing us!
