We've had loads Sparkle. They were abundant on our cistus which have finished flowering now. They were drunk on the pollen! Loads of butterflies here too.

Not seen any wasps at all yet. We have many skeleton wasp nests in our back attic. The kids used to take them into school for the nature tables. Amazing constructions!  x

We had lots of honey bees until this year wave.  Few wasps yet.  If 1 is up and about early one will see bees .........

Same here Sparkle. Very few honey bees around this summer so far. The Borage plants are usually full of them and also the lavenders but hardly any visiting the garden. It's worrying.

A report earlier today tells of 2 hives of honey bees being stolen and 25 being burned to the ground in a nearby farm  ....... someone with too much time on their hands

We have loads of them this year but we planted lots of bee friendly flowers this year. I did a mix of wild flowers and our garden is humming.
I've never had so many and it's great to see them bumbling about.

We had one trying to get into our bedroom a couple of mornings ago, when it was warm and sunny and we had the window open.   It was about 5am.   Hubby managed to stop it from coming in round the edge of the blind, by holding something next to the tiny gap - although Mr. Bee got very angry in the process!   He eventually flew away (the bee, not Hubby!) and we got back to sleep.

We have had lots of bumbles around now that it is sunnier

Does anyone keep honey bees?
