You could do worse than make a folder with all your bees in - you have so many different ones and the photographs are all brilliant. Hope it is a cricket weekend for you - the weather is perfect.
That is amazing - presumably off white clover (bees seem to like to learn how to deal with a flower type and stick to it if they can). We saw a bumblebee of some kind here today sipping nectar from long narrow (tubular) flowers by drilling through from the outside near the nectar source - like they used to on our runner beans (and avoid the polliination process!)

ReplyDeleteI knew they worked hard but that's ridiculous!
