THE TIME OF SUMMER BEES HAS ENDED, HERE IS THE TIME OF THE AUTUMN BEE, THE FIRST IVY MINING BEE IN THE GARDEN
PLEASE WELCOME THE THIS PRETTY STRIPY BUTT
THE WEATHER HAS MESSED WITH US THIS YEAR, BUT THE LATE BEES ARE ENJOYING THE MILD DAYS, PREPARING THE BABIES FOR WINTER, SO LATE VELVETY SNAPDRAGONS ARE PERFECT
For those advocating honey, and stating not to use sugar water, this is a well balanced article.
Honey can be potentially fatal to bees (depending on location and honey.) And as long as the sugar water is to help as a last resort, it's fine.

IT'S HOT BUT THE FLOWERS WON'T WAIT
if you see an exhausted bee and you want to help:
It might just be having a rest!
If it's in the sun, it might need shade (move only with care, nudge onto a leaf or bring shade to it)
Don't give bees honey! Offer sugar water ♡
