Cool Alberta spring weather delays emergence of insects and pests

Albertans are getting a reprieve from spring bugs this year, thanks to cool weather delaying the re-emergence of insects across the province. According to local experts, "a lot of the stuff is just delayed," with bees, wasps, ants, and other pests that typically appear in reasonable numbers by mid-May largely absent. The extended cool snap is pushing typical seasonal insect activity later into the year.
