Re: Disappearing bees

An earlier post suggested protecting bees from wasps but alas didn't say how. This would be really handy to know.

My shed bees have changed the direction of their entrance/exit from facing west (somewhere under the door) to facing south (the side of the shed.) Has this anything to do with the unpredictable weather or is it a sign of something more sinister?

Lastly, while not wanting to disturb them, how can I ensure their wellbeing?
I have lots of flowering plants, egg plants, lavender, etc but the bees seem to have a preference for clover and visit it more often.

Gosh, its like having children, worry, worry, worry........What do they do for water?
I have a small pond but haven't spotted any bees actually drinking.
