My new cherry tree NW of Baltimore didn't seem to have many bugs
fertilizing it. Just 4 when I looked, two honey bees and two other
things about half as big and all black.

Is this because of the deaths of so many honey bees?
Hi,
Fertilizing? You mean pollinating, right?
Yes, honey bees have problem with some kinda bug world wide.
They are dying off. Canada being one of big honey producers
my supplier of raw honey had bad harvest last couple of years
raising price. I heard hives in New Foundland is still very healthy.
