Our borage no where near blooming!!

Our bees collecting water from the stones at the edge of our pond




Their sisters still working hard alongside the bumble bee cousins collecting borage nectar in the wildflower patch.

And elsewhere in the wildflower patch the ladybirds getting it together in the sunshine
