Default Lack of bees

Bumbles are the big buggers which 'bumble around' and yes we have had more
Bumbles than Honey, however we have had quite a few Honeys'

Had a lot of bees on the Enorma Beans and the cropping has been fantastic.

This spring I had a good show of apple blossom but only saw a couple of
bumble bees.
They must have worked their little butts off.

It's the heaviest crop I've had on those trees in 15 years

Dunno about Spring, but these last few weeks (well, when it was
sunny), we've seen more bumbles than I think we've ever seen. Not a
honey bee in sight though.


I don't know the difference but I have never seen so many bees as I have
this summer and they are still buzzing around my nasturtiums.
