Busy Bee

Lovely photo.very few bees around this year it must be from all the rain we had here

Thanks Johnjoe. Hardly any bees this year :o( Watched a nature programme the other evening which did say bees can't/won't fly in the rain. No wonder then with our 'summer'

Lovely N3..I haven't seen many on mine either yet..just an odd 'buzz' now and then..I really hope they get going this next few days,,if the weather holds ...

Cheers Bloomer. Same here the odd buzz :o) Looks like you might be lucky with the weather think we will still be in the doom and gloom :o(

Excellent shot

Brill shot.

Amazing shot - love to see bees

A lovely picture ...We had a lot of bees when the cotoneaster was in flower but not so many since the flowers have died off

Thanks Amy. Last year we had so many bees it was lovely, but with this horrid weather hardly any this year :o(

Lovely Bumble Bee Shot

I used to live in St Annes on sea , happy days .

Gg

Thanks Sheila, Clarice, Paul and Gnarly. I used to work at the RBS (not that one should confess that) in the square. I love St Annes :o)))

Me , too, love bumble bees. Did you know that honey bees pollinate 70% of the world's plants. They love the drumstick alium so please plant some.

Super shot :-))

Cheers Muddy. As you will see from my pics I love bees, but not seen that many this year. Need to find some drumstick Alium Wells, will have to Google :o)

They are readily available,N3..mine are called Allium
Shoenopraesum..so it said on the packet :o) .and no,I can't pronounce it..so Drumstick is what I call them ...most garden centres have them..I love mine,and butterflies love them too...Early Autumn is a good time to plant them :o)

Thats great Bloomer, will definitely be getting some and thanks for the planting tip. All we need now is a little sunshine to see the butterflies and bees :o))

I haven't seen one butterfly or bee on mine yet,this year,N3..they are still hanging around the Lavender,and Jacob's ladder's..but only bees so far ..but I'm sure they will come :o)..the last pic I posted was of my Alliums,....

The odd bee on the lavender and a tiny blue butterfly in May on the Wisteria, but nothing much. Just had a look at your photo Bloomer. Gorgeous! Looks like a Chelsea display :o)))

Thank you,N3..glad you like them...Chelsea? Lol..a tiny back garden in the depths of Yorkshire ! :o)
