Re: Bumble Bee Story.

That sounds a good idea Nightshade, I think it maybe getting the place right, and maybe the entrance hole,they need to be able to see it, but I ve found once they nest in a place, the new queens will come back and nest in the same place if the bird box is still there, so I m going to put cardboard boxes inside the bird boxes, and when they settle in, I can lift the box out and put it in the new box where they will be safe, I know it works as I moved two this year, but it was later in the year, so did nt save so many queens, but will move them earlier next year, they should do well.
I ll have to looking for sheeps wool lol, must keep my bumbles warm. Pauline.
