No the two hives were very busy that shrub was visited by honey bees all morning and later bumble bees. The tea pots are a feature in the garden. It was nice to c the bees foraging in february. Yes it was the sun a big yellow thing in the sky!!!
I had bees on the winter flowering honeysuckle (smells so good too), water collecting on moss and cleansing flights yesterday. Good to hear the buzzing.
