Bumble bee
Sacha wrote:
We had a really huge bumble bee blundering against the panes of our bedroom windows this morning. The day dawned sunny but has clouded over and it's still pretty chilly. However, I did wonder if this poor chap had emerged too soon or whether he's one of the weather prophets. I hope it's the latter, because I don't see how we can get one more millilitre of rain onto the land! delurk If it was particularly large it was probably a queen, looking for a likely nest site. I hope she hasn't got out from under her duvet too soon, poor thing. About a week ago or whenever we last had a sunny day, honey bees were very busy on the Lonicera purpusii. Haven't seen any bees around here yet (just south of Derby) but the miniature daffodils are out in the back garden already and the cabbages have germinated under cloches on my allotment. -- Carol "Never trust a man wearing leather shorts and a plastic dressing gown" - Spray, "The Dangerous Sports Club" |
