Could anyone tell me why I have a very.larhe bee that has taken to tamming my sitting room window over and over for the last three days. Does this mean I may have a hive somewhere. I have no plants at the side of the house the bee likes. Is this normal behavior?

    Do you have any flowers or anything flowery inside?

    I can't understand why my bees like a pathetic self set non descript to me image poppy and don't like my show off come and get me courgette flowers at the side of it.

    Hi all, I am not exactly certain its the same bee but the size is very large so I am assumng its the same one. I dont have any flowers only grass out front.

    Sounds like a bumble bee perhaps?  There are lots of different species, some very large.  And "bumble" is a good description - they do tend to crash about.  Some species nest in soil or in tussocky grass, in small colonies only.  They rarely sting, luckily...

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
