No, it wasn't a thug, it's just quite a large clump after 3 years, and where it was....too near the back of the garden...so it went. It was at the time that I was still digging out borders etc......lol....as if I ever stop!

Thanks for that Karen.

He is a Scottish Common Carder Bee - there is a slight difference between the Common Carder Bee around the country.
