I was getting plenty when my blue flowers were out. Hardly any now.

I spotted 4 different types of Bumblebee in the garden today along with loads of Honey Bees. They seem to be enjoying the very warm weather.

I saw my first Bumblebee of the season today too. It wasn't one of the very big ones.

Seen a very large bumble bee today. Was on the outskirts of the woods flying around. First of the year.

I am seeing very few bees of any species. The spring started off pretty much as normal but now numbers have really dwindled. I know it has been cooler than normal but I wouldn't have thought it was that bad.

It has surprised me that there have not been similar comments on social media or on Springwatch. Perhaps the summer will warm up and they will all be taking to the wing.
