We have had such a lot of rain recently that when the sun does come out I have noticed how busy the Bumblebees are on the Pieris bushes.
In front of the house on either side of the wide concrete area going up the drive there is a clump of about 10 bushes. It makes a
spectacular sight.( and leaves a white carpet below )
I am holding the branch up so you can see what the bumbles are collecting. The hang upside down if necessary.
There are lots of bumble bees as well as native bees and other small insects.
Fascinating to watch.

There have been quite a few bumble bees around here too. It's lovely to hear and see them.
The blooms are stunning and how lovely to have so many bees. Our garden is just starting to wake up and we commented that we haven’t seen any bees yet. I do hope they arrive soon and are not victims of these horrible diseases that are affecting them.
