Twenty-one degrees and sunny today. Sadly, very little of that could be enjoyed outside.
After work and piano and voting in the local elections, however, the forum for my local community had a special vote for how we want our community to be. This included the hope that we would be able to create our own electricity from renewables.
Anyway, who knows if this will ever come to fruition, let alone more allotments and cycle paths. But after all the gallivanting about, when I finally sat down on the patio to enjoy a few moments in the garden before dark, a bee came along to take pollen from the bluebells which have grown up in the vegetable patch.
The bee would have been long gone before I could get my phone for a picture, so I decided to enjoy the sight instead. As with the daffodils and tulips I mentioned the other night, though, the bluebells need a new home. I’m not sure the vegetable patch is the right one.
Bees…lovely. I am planting even more “Bee friendly” flowers and bushes (elderberry and goji berry) and cannot WAIT until I get my hive…
Good to hear goji berries are bee friendly. I’ve got two of those bushes.
When are you getting your hive?
How lovely Helen!
I was amazed that the bee was still out, feeding, at nearly half past eight in the evening!
It must have been hungry, or confused. In urban area I also hear birds singing during most of the night, I guess it is because they get confused by the street lighting. (?)
Yes, I have heard that birds get confused by the street lighting. Here they enjoy singing at dusk, which is a nice end to the day😊.
As for the bee, hungry I should think. It was still about an hour before dark, so no street lights were on……
That’s interesting Helen!
Yes, and perhaps I will notice more now!
Awesome!!!
I love watching bees in the garden and hearing that familiar Buzz sound makes me smile. B-)
The bee was a bit too far away for me to hear the buzz – but it is a nice sound, yes 😊.
Awesome i have seen a couple of bumble bees around the garden lovely update thank you for sharing have a blessed day Helen
Nice to hear about your bees, Linda. Have a lovely Friday 😊.
I’m just reading The Bees by Laline Paull. Am amazing fiction book that has made me really think about bees. It’s sort of weird to explain the book but I am so entranced by the main character – who is a bee. Highly recommended. Enjoy the weekend 🙂
Thank you, Kathryn – you too!
Sounds a good book. Enjoy 😊.
