Do they do any harm Kat ?

They are not harmful to me. As this corner of garden is rarely visited by other people, I do not know how would they behave to others.
But you know, it is fine shadow area especially during hot summer days and I would like to have relaxing chair here and read here, but I have respect :)))

That's good of you Kat , Bees are becoming so endangered , perhaps they would know you mean no harm and leave you in peace !

I am cultivator of their food!!!! Mother of ther Eden. They must love me.:)

Not keen on bees lol:))))

Me neither, Mark, lol.

My OH runs a mile when he sees one , for some strange reason they zoom in on him and sting him , it's happened so many times , and wasps are even worse! he has disturbed wasps nests in the garden several times he has run into the house with wasps all over him and covered in stings .... he's lucky he isn't allergic to them ..

The same problem I have had. Bees, wasps and mosquitoes are attracted by certain smell of skin. It is well know that some perfumes excites them, but also smell of our sweating glands. I read lot of medicinal books but did not find solution for better protection. The only one which is working in some people, is to take high dose of vitamins B several hours before you are going to be exposed to these insects. Metabolism of this vitamins causes specific smell of the sweat, which people do not detect, but it is repellent to insects.
