Now we've had a longer spell of fine weather I'm very happy to see an increase in the number of bees in the garden. We've also had to rescue two from the house this week - an enormous bumblebee was trapped indoors on Monday and today after the children had gone I discovered a very folorn little Mason bee trundling around on my son's carpet. She perked up considerably after I deposited her on the Oregano. A good feed later and she was happily cleaning herself up. Then undoubtedly she was off to do her good work elsewhere, bless her.
The Borage is just coming into flower (though I'm continually having to prop it up) so that should keep a few more bees happy.
