Default Bees


Just been to the garden centre because of the wet weather and was

surprised
to see a bee going from flower to flower. The lady said they've had lots
around still, even on the frosty mornings



Robert lives in Plymouth, Devon


Mine have been working on Ivy flowers this week - probably about finished

now, then
they'll just come out on cleansing flights on mild winter days.


Yes that's right, but they will also collect any nectar which is easily
available at low temperatures.

My wise mentor, very many years ago, had a saying that "bees never do
anything invariably". I've learned by experience that he was right.
