Bumblebees and solitary bees
Attached is an excellent fact sheet from FERA
I love bumble bees and there is a good population around Budding Cottage. As our clover expands across the hay meadow each year, the bumblebees seize the opportunity and work it vigorously. They are also keen on the delicious smelling honeysuckle that grows around the outbuildings and only smells strongly at night.
The bumblebee conservation trust at www.bumblebeeconservation.org is well worth a visit and worth supporting
