Bumble bees.

~Hi Adrian
I think until all the beekeepers~ and there are thousands~check their hives we won't know~keeping my fingers crossed though!

cheers.

I've seen a few at work today, and they were pretty big. Unfortunately I also saw a dead one which was probably killed out of fear.

There are loads of honey bees around too. The Skimmias were crawling with them!

I had a big one come in the house yesterday, which I took back outside in a glass, spotted another today in my garden

I have to say and thanks for those getting back, that since I first posted the question I have lost count of how many bumbles I've seen. Not that I've seen over 20 but have seen a lot and bombers too !

~Hi there
Seen lots of Bumbles but it is the honey bees which are smaller that are cause for concern~does anyone know how they are doing?
