Spring Bees

"Now for something very interesting…. Apparently if you listen very carefully outside a hive on Christmas Day, legend has it that you can hear the bees singing a Christmas carol!"

As the weather continues to warm up and the landscape comes alive with insects, keep your eyes peeled for Spring bees in your garden and local green spaces.

You could even think about planting some Spring flowers for bumblebees and solitary bees, or put up a solitary bee house in your garden to keep these species safe over Winter (click here to re-read the story about Bubbles making his own bee house a while ago together with the instructions he followed).
