From last year they were Sleeping Beeuties 2018 to

 

 

This year 2019  again these little kind and sweet bees have caught me unaware and when I opened

the sleeping box there were a few anxious looking faces!  So up went the boxes sharpish

and they were put on top to feel the fresh air and off they flew ~ they'll be back always

to the same spot they first remember.

These are the boxes facing South in the hot sun.

Wildlife have no respect for photographers!

Yes I know @Cleoriff we are all feeling the change.

Went back out earlier and the little faces were no

happier!  However, the dedicated were continuing

to fill their tubes and this afternoon another one

was completed ~ well done herkissing_heart

Saw a cabbage white butterfly @TallTrees in the beer garden at the back of Early Doors micro pub ... whilst having a mug of tea ... & ... keeping the gardener company ... & ... fetching his beer for him smiling beers rose sunflower

 

I have to nibble when I'm imbibing any amout of fluid & chatting ... so ... it was a warm sausage roll & ham salad butty with Paradise square to finish ... I am considered a regular in the pub & so will only ask politely for a mug of tea £1 when there are no tourists in the pub ... I even have my own mug under the counter = white with birds on

 

Lovely to see you posting @liggerz87 

 

If we need to have a separate thread on nature will you please let me knew @TallTrees this is your thread about your bees

 

I luv hearing about them

 

Apparently next weekend - the early May Bank Holiday the weather is going to be warm & sunny sun

Hello @Anonymous 

 

That is a splendid idea ~ my bee thread is specialised and therefore limited and now it is all about filling the tubes for the next generation of Red Mason Bees ~ it would be much better to join that with a Nature thread, then more could join and I also have other interests in nature would like many more to join in ~ birds plants etc.  perfect.

Perhaps you could find out how to carry that out?

 

Look forward to hearing about it from you later.  Thank you for your thoughts.

Also that lunch sounds fantastic!

Hello @TallTrees 

Thank you for posting above  ^  ^  ^

 

A suitable title is needed to reflect your initial thread ... & ... new Nature thread

 

something like

 

Nature: incorporating TallTrees award winning thread - Awakening Sleeping BEEuties

 

What do you think @TallTrees ?

 

Once we've decided upon a title, I reckon I know a certain Regular who could do the deed ?  wink
