I've got all sorts this year, they are loving the borage and comfrey especially. I think it's a better year for them, too Snadger although they will travel huge distances for these plants. I've also let lots of herbs run to flower and seed which is proving a big attraction to some of the solitary bees like Wool Carders. I'm pretty sure I sure I've got Tree Bumble Bees so that's a long way West for them. I haven't seen any of the really huge bees around for years though and there used to be quite a few of those, presumably a strain of one of the other common species."A life lived in fear is a life half lived."
PS. I just don't have enough time to say hello to everyone as they join so please take this as a delighted to see you here!

There's never a shortage of bees on my lotty. I have lots of flowers around the place, as do many of my fellow (organic-ish) plotters.
There are still lots of plotters who will ONLY grow veg though, won't even give a single inch to a flower. They haven't made the bees = veg connection yet, probably never willLast edited by Two_Sheds; 09-08-2013, 11:42 AM.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.
