| Re: Bees
Hi everyone -
Down where I live (Reading) there seems to be plenty of bumblebees and solitary bees around, even now that the weather's turned a bit grey & showery. The lavender hedge normally has good number of bees feeding. Like Shei, I've also put up a small bee-box and some of the bamboo tubes have now got little green plugs of chewed up leaves at the end, which presumably means that I've a few lodgers in my hotel at last!
What do seem to be struggling are the moths - we usually get quite a few visiting our buddleia at dusk, and things like Large Yellow Underwing coming to the porch lights. This year I've hardly seen any.
