Garden Wildlife UK

Yes, bee keeper came and smoked them into a box and took them away. He has two empty hive. Lost the bees over the winter.

I'm hoping it's just my garden but I seem to have very few bees this year. The Scabious are in bloom which usually means lots of bees of all types but today in the warm sunshine I only saw a couple.

I hope so too, Jacksparrow, now that ****** glyphosate is back on the menu

Great idea to build a bee hotel. Particularly liked the gym

The lavender is matted with bees

It was very noticeable today that there were quite few Queen Bumble Bees on the wing. They were mainly looking for some nectar but I know they start searching for somewhere to hibernate soon.

Funny day - I reckon it was the humidity. Butterflies, bees, wasps .....

First big, furry, bumbly bumble bee of the year . Great to see .
Not a thing in the garden in flower

No bees but one daffodil.
