Great photos! You have definitely given me a new appreciation for the different types of bees. We weren’t so pleased, however, when a red wasp got trapped in our bathroom yesterday!
Oh what gorgeous photos, Judith! We bought a solitary bee box whilst away and today purchased the new pond and a propagator for me! I’m rather behind you, but will be getting my veggie seeds in asap now (and then hopefully buying lots more spring bee attracting plants…) We had our first goldfinches ever today, and a brimstone butterfly – my wasteland is coming on apace! I’m so enjoying your posts, you are inspiring me!
