These Tree bumblebees are fanning their nest to keep it cool 🌡️

Most UK bumblebees nest on or underground. Tree bumblebees, however, prefer to nest high above the ground – bird boxes containing old bird nests are a firm favourite 🐦

Have you spotted a Tree bumblebee nest?

Visiting our daughter in Germany and astonishing to see how verge friendly it is around Freiburg. Why is this? No scalping verges. Incredibly bee friendly even in middle of town. We need to stop our obsession with tidyness in UK!

What do you think of our Prime Minister @rishisunak as a result of him blocking swift bricks ? Comment below. Don’t hold back - swifts’ existence is at stake. Perhaps he hasn’t quite understood…..
