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!

Simply stunning
@Cleoriff I finished the whole series this weekend. Stunning, fascinating, and heartbreaking at times, definitely would recommend watching the full episodes to anyone who liked this short clip you shared!
I am still watching it @EmilieT
I wouldn't post the video of the Walruses. That was tragic.
Important to mention to all nature lovers and saving the planet supporters, the tragedy is due to the loss of sea ice due to global warming. Sea ice is the natural habitat of the Walrus.
So when the Walruses come back to rest, give birth etc, they are living on a very small though high, rock formation.
To avoid being crushed, they try to climb the rocks and the inevitable happens. Walrus are NOT rock climbers. Tragic.

@TallTrees I did notice, and I like it!
@Cleoriff That shocked me deeply, it's a very upsetting scene, the most upsetting of the lot. The whole series does a very good job at balancing beauty and the threat to it.

Hi @EmilieT
I can't take the bad bits anymore ~ know I should but I can't.
I stay positive ~ I need to ~ I carry on with all my animal friends in the garden (ok not greenfly)
I can relate to that @TallTrees, I need to take big breaks between these kind of documentaries. It's important they are available and well made for people who need to understand what's going on better though

Photo'd this bee putting the last mud plug in ~ tiny bee carries that mud flies it in and makes a plug between each bee cell, can't imagine how much work that takes.
