I then put them back in the garden end of March.<br /><br />Keep a watch if you have takers you will see them in the next few weeks.<br /><br />Good job done............Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236217526656012168.post-56882085375316591102015-04-19T17:28:58.852-07:002015-04-19T17:28:58.852-07:00Nice to see that lovely bee house.
