Messin' with my head I suppose, I imagined something nasty sitting in the frames!
I've seen one worker bumble in the last fortnight! Double zero white cabbage butterflies, One worker wasp on an ex pigeon. I contacted the bumble conservation lot and they didn't seem worried, swearing they'll bounce back! Just so long as the cabbage whites stay in France I'll be happy.
