beans and bees
My garden is in Hampshire, a mile or so west of Petersfield.
This year has been different for the vegetable patch in many ways. We had trouble getting the courgettes to start and for the first time in decades have no pumpkins growing. The beans were slow to start but are now flowering profusely with no sign of beans setting. Are other gardeners seeing the same? Earlier in the year I was able to be complacent about the news that bumble bees were threatened with decline. We seemed to have lots around. But this week keeping an eye out for them it has been hard to see any. There are many apparently suitable flowers out (evening primrose, buddleja, leek, bramble, ...). Honey bees, solitary bees and a few butterflies but no bumbles. Should I be worrying or doing anything? -- Ellis Morgan |
