In this dry weather, bees desperately need water. If you can, put out a bowl of water. Add some stones or bits of wood for the bees to sit on, so they can drink without risk of drowning.
The number of bees coming to my bowls is enormous - see video.
Please don’t give bees sugar water and mashed apple and such. Those cause harm. Clean water is what bees they need.

There’s always one crazy fucker…even in bee world.
Wait for it…
Wait for it…
Yep there it is!
You’re busy foraging on a leek flower, minding your own, when out of nowhere Red Arse crashes in all chaos then moves on in an instant - leaving you impressed or annoyed or a little bit of both…
You know the type.

More types of #flowers = more #diversity of traits in urban #bees.
More flowers = more diversity!
What a lovely concept.
Grow flowers folks.
Many flowers!
As diversity is resilience.
And by jingo do we need resilience now.
Early by the way!
Just keeping you vigilant.

Research suggests urban #bumblebees are more phenotypically diverse as there is a greater RANGE of flowers available in urban areas and #bees developing more diversity of traits gives the colony more options when foraging.

Pleased to inform after yesterdays failure I caught the garden bugs unaware today, by sneaking the camera out with me while I put the washing out.
- Are you still sulking about all the bugs hiding when you went out with the camera?
- What? Me? No. Why would you think that?

Research suggesting urban #bumblebees are smaller than their country cousins proposes that this difference in size is down to availability of resources and ‘urban warming’.
Less food and warmer environment = smaller #bees.

hover, bending every stalk

Today 2 generations of urban wild bees visited
Pretty sure a new generation emerged of green sweat bee, Agopostemon
And a Lasioglossum gathering pollen for her next generation
