Honeybees in the garden

We have been getting a lot of honeybees in the garden, mostly on the Bee Balm.

According to the following link:

honeybees will readily travel 2 miles for nectar.

The hives at Wehr and Boerner are each about 2 miles away.

Therefore, even though there may be a closer hive, it is entirely possible that the honeybees are from Wehr and Boerner.
