About bumblebees
Shared via AddThis
I don't know how aware people in general are, but our Bumble Bees are having a hard time, yet without them our gardens would not be the same, our flowers would not be pollinated and perhaps far more importantly our food crops may fail. I have been busy trying to plan a more Bumble Bee freindly garden this summer and as a result have been enjoying watching several different speices of Bumble Bee visiting the flowers. This post has a link at the top called About bumblebees which wiill take you to a web site created by the Bumble Bee Conservation Trust where you can read more about Bumble Bees and how you can help by planting your garden with flowers at the the bees like.
We, luckily, still seem have quite a lot of bees, bumble and otherwise. We have masses of hardy fuschias and you can hear the buzz from them from quite a distance. I'll have a look at this sight though to see if there's anything that I could have in the garden and I'm missing. (Anything for the chance to get some more plants.)

Looks like a trip to the garden centre is not going to happen in the near future. I seem to have most of the things recommended on the site and the few that I haven't probably won't be found in a garden centre. I suppose that's good news for the bees and my purse.
