It ties in with Phil Gurr's post and we will find out if bumble bees are
doing all the work and honey bees are lazy gits.

I've been doing my bit and have only seen bumble bees, one hover fly and no
honey bees in my initial survey.


Bee identification is my problem. I've planted 3 Comfrey plants in both
front and rear gardens. They're covered in hundreds of tiny 16mm trumpets.
Quite popular with the smaller bee, but what are they?TIA.
