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.
This is a box with an emerging bee under the release box top.
Wildlife have no respect for photographers!

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
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

Hello @liggerz87
Still cold here today ~ but the bees are working and filling their tubes ~
they are not happy though.
Yesterday Windy Rain and hail ~ lots of unhappy bees

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 ?
