| | | Hello from Northern Ireland
Hello Everybody,
greetings from Northern Ireland, actually I come from West Sussex in the heart of the South Downs. However, I am at the moment living in County Down, an area rich in wild life both inland (mainly agricultural) and on its coast line.
The seasons are slightly behind say those of the south of England, except Autumn which comes slightly earlier. This time last year (indeed this very weekend) I was at home in Sussex and on a visit to Arundel, Sussex I saw my first Bumble Bee of the year. We don't expect to see any until the end of March or early April. Has anyone seen a Bumble Bee yet?
Once again Hello to Everyone,
Regards |

Hi and welcome to the forum. Nope, no bumble bees yet here in the South of England (I haven't seen any).

Hi doctorflintstone and a very warm welcome from WAB. Glad to have you aboard. The first from Northern Ireland I think. Trust that you will enjoy all that you find in the various sections of the site.
There was a report of a bumblebee seen on 7th February by Fourwings. You can read what he says in the Insects and Invertebrate forum, thread entitled Early Bumblebee.
