Interesting tacticWen down the garden early to remove the two separate supers adj to the hive entrance before they got really busy, aprrox. 8 bees remaing in the pair so soon blew them out.
Certainly saves humping heavy boxes back up high for clearing.
What is it?The cow parsley's suddenly all opened. Went over to see a bee and got a surprise! What a mimic, even his little head is very bee-like.

We planted four two year old limes five years ago and all are dripping in flowers. I thought they too much longer but I reckon last year's summer made a few plants do odd thingsTen years after we planted it there are flowers for the first time and there are bees on it

Asparagus pollen is traffic-light red.Finding lipstick-red pollen on a few bees had me puzzled. Apparently, the most likely candidate for that is deadnettle.
