Currently not a fan of foxes, they pulled out a bundle of wheat straws and ate all the pollen and grub from the resin bees last night ๐ข put extra protection now that should keep them out. Extra video of some resin bee love making included #solitarybees #resinbees #londonwildlife
One of the best ways you can help #SolitaryBees in your garden is to grow lots of open, pollen-rich flowers that they can forage from to stock their nests, like the Common Fleabane these Large-headed Resin Bees are enjoying today. #SolitaryBeeHour ๐ป๐ผ๐

This hideous hanging basket, devoid of plant life, is in the garden because for the lst 3yrs it's been home to leaf cutter bees! At least 6 nests this yr. I think they're Willughby's Leaf Cutters.
Bee nest box going up over winter.

This female has finished her first tube. It is a series of cells created with mud dividers to seal each of them. In each is an egg and a mix of nectar & pollen to feed it once hatched. #SolitaryBees
๐ Happy Monday busy bees!
