My hardy scented leaf cranesbill is usually alive with bees. I've not seen
a single one this year. -- Jim S Tyneside |

My garden has been buzzing with bees so far this year, but I do plant to encourage bees from late winter onwards. We have masses of the white-tailed bumble-bee, but rather fewer of the red-tailed. I must watch out for plants which attract the latter and get planting. Of course, we have other bumbles and less hairy bees, as well as hoverflies, but the white- and red- tailed bumbles are what we're seeing at the moment. Living on the side of a hill, I'm bound to say that most of my garden is not very sheltered, so that is not the attraction. Perhaps you need to plant more bee-friendly plants so you have a continued feast for them. -- Spider On high ground in SE London Gardening on heavy clay |
