I sw a huge one here on some Salvia involucrata which are still
flowering. I doubt he'll be around today though. It's 8C at present.


Well it was here as well but this poor little bumble bee was circling
the hanging baskets for ages!

Might be worth putting out a very shallow container with a sugar/water
mix in it. Clearly, they're trying to stock up.



I was going to suggest that but, if Janet has it, honey would be favourite.
