I have a little colony in the eaves and they sure do appreciate the soft set Honey..

I love bumble bees. I have a colony in my bathroom wall cavity and they get in through a hole that was left when a toilet overflow pipe was taken out but not filled in. I always find it a bit of a shame that by mid to late autumn they will all be dead and only the founding queens will be off to find a hole to hibernate until next year. I would like to think that they live lives so quickly that time seems to them to be as long as human lives but that for them the the weather is warm their entire lives.

After a very slow start bumbles have been amazing this year. I have a very busy nest of Tree Bumblebees behind the barge board of my garage. They’ll be gone mid-August and I’ll miss them. Though we do have a lot of collisions as the nest entrance is just about 6 feet off the ground right next to the side gate!

We always leave a big patch of ground ivy in the veg garden in spring as the bumbles go mad for it. It is finished before we need to plant out so it’s no inconvenience

It has been the same here with very few bumbles anywhere now all of a sudden they is loads of them.. and the same applies with the wasps which has made me deploy the Waspbane trap earlier this year..
