They’re baaack. When solitary bees aren’t. Something to lift the heart. (Sound for a snippet of busy NW England ginnel life: the fence backs onto one.) 🐝🏡🪴🌱🌼

Okay, so the garden is busy with honeybees, and two of these marvellous truffle-size bumbles (the shy one flew as I got my phone out). Such early spring. I need this 🐝🌿🌱🌼

Here’s a bee who turned its calendar this morning. First I’ve seen this year. It had a companion, so word gets around when you plant early blooms. Everything’s bollocks, but it must be spring in NW England. 🌿🌱🌼🐝

Morning. Found a bit not flooded (not easy rn). Borrowed a dog.
