On the hottest morning of July, Maya noticed something strange in her garden. The bees that usually covered her lavender and sunflowers were flying restlessly from flower to flower, then disappearing. She walked around the yard and found the reason: every puddle had dried, and the birdbath was nearly empty. She filled it, but when she returned later, she saw a bee struggling at the deep edge.
