so excited - just seen a hummingbird hawkmoth in my garden in Broadstairs, kent. Busy with the big bushes of lavender - what a long proboscis? Amazing how the wings beat so rapidly. Also pleased to say that I have loads of bees or various types
Ive never really paid any attention to bees but this year im surpised at all the different colours of bees that have visited my garden. I have also noted on occassions a vivid bright blue butterfly very thin and long with sticking up wings. One big disappointment i have not seen any ladybirds this year.
Im not sure what i wrong with bees at the moment, I have alo in the garden but over the last few months ive seen quite a few dying ones, what is happening to them?
Last year in our garden near manchester we had very few bees. This year. wow.They are everywhere!! It is great to see them, counted 12 on one plant yesterday and ten on another. Very funny that they just go to sleep hanging on the edge of the flower at night and then start all over again the next day!!
