Been made redundant (again)

Went out to check on my small poly-tunnel the other day, to do some watering and pollinate the apricot tree which is currently in flower. Imagine my surprise to find a rather lovely, what I think was a grey-tailed queen bumble-bee, already at work. The only problem was to coax her back out in to the open air.

Lucky you!

Saves getting the paint brush out then Nick!

[bikermike]

is this the old trick of "do something really badly and someone who knows what they are doing will come and take over"?

[Nicos]

Nice find!...she'll not be enjoying today's wet and windy weather though

[nickdub]

Not really - I rather enjoy a bit of paint brush work - I leave the doing it badly bit for any cleaning I get reluctantly roped in to.

All I've found is two Queen Wasps in my greenhouse overwintering in the plant pots.

How very kind of her!
