only Mr Veg doesn’t know it, becasue he HATES them – may have been a child hood trauma of being stung, typical boy!
Any-ho. Sat at the back door, and I’ve noticed loads of them, and they started to head towards the decking – just below the Boston Ivy…
….and lo and behold….
there was 1 flying into the hole. Then I saw another one, to the right of the geranium (that I need to plant into a pot,…I know…!)
flying into that hole.
So it seems I am the proud caretake of the White Tailed Bumbee Bee. 
And quite proud of it I am too. If you want to know more, click on here: http://www.bumblebeeconservation.org/bumblebees_id.htm
Theres a Beewatch page too – quite an important thing to update with the current bee crisis!
Off to Spain for a week now, where i will be gardening again. I planted an Echium last year – I’m hoping its about 10 feet tall – our horrid Northern weather won’t really like them!
**sorry about the layout of the page – some of the normal buttons I use have disappeared so I cannot centre stuff…I hate computers – really…..Grrrrrr**
Hope you enjoy your week in Spain and that everything is looked after whilst you are away.
Have a great holiday! Good to see that someone still has some bees.
Hello Jo & Amy – thanks had a wonderful Jolly!!
