Bumble bees

We had one in our compost heap this year which has now gone quiet and we think they have gone already, I looked up some info. and it said they are more likely to return next season to the same site, so we will dig out the compost in the autumn and make it cosy again for next spring, lets hope they do ! Are yours still active?

Still active, which is more than can be said for me. I'm sorting out the slabs to put into the corner , then they will have a good home.

It's great to see and hear of people doing their best to help the bees along, especially as they are in decline. Well done to both of you!...:o)

arent you good, so many would have just crshed them. Well done.

I took a look at the nest this afternoon, things were very quiet. I took hold of a broom handle & gave the nest a light tap....Oh the buzzing.....best left methinks.

I had another look in this morning, fairly quiet, things could be on the "up" for me. I'll give it a few more days before looking in again.

`How lucky these bees are, to have someone who appreciates the Wildlife
you sure are trying to do the best for them Cliveanne..`well done..

It's no big deal Freesiaperson, they have just as much right to life as I do... Perhaps more, They do not pollute, whereas I do, with my car, or bus trip, cooking etc. not to mention pollution done on my behalf, things I buy, food, clothing, holidays, working on the internet and so on...it all adds up. I'm just trying in my small way to help here & there.
Thank you for your comments.
