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!

millions of the little buggers. I'd run a mile.

I thought: "She's mad, no suit", and then she scooped handfuls of them up... 😖

She wearing no protection at all. Brave lass.

Yes she is. Not something I would do I must admit!

Such a shame to sensationalise these wonderful creatures 💔
All they want to do is to have a home (like us) bring up their brood (like us) .....

Well I was out at home today 🙃
Getting bee homes clean and bee home trellis ready...I know this is thrilling
I saw this little kiddie emerge never seen this one before such an interesting shape.
This is a photo of it... know many will be rushing to their natural history encyclopedia to find the creatures name 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I haven't got a natural history encyclopaedia @TallTrees  so I'll wait for you to tell me.
