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!

They truly are @Cleoriff...I can see one inbetween the tubes even 😲
They are cold so are slow never been able to take these kind of photos before.
Sun out and they are fast buzzing can't focus on them. Dear little things feel so sorry for them.
The Bumblebees are not happy either.
Hope some hot sun soon.

Well Bees have had a tough time, rain, cold and high winds don't suppose it could be worse.
They have tried inbetween all this to do their normal nesting.
Today May 26th we are expecting better temperatures and some 4 days of less rain and more sun....hopefully...Bees respond to sun 🌞
I have seen them filling the tubes but not one completed.
The females sit facing out when weather is bad looking after their little eggs in each cell.

Some people see things as they are and ask "Why?"; I dream of things that never were and ask "Why not?"
