wild bees
today we have discovered the first wild bees in the garden.
For many years, growing in the garden a Viburnum x bodnantense. It flowers from November to March and is the first bee food for the early arrivals among wild bees. Will soon provide the first bumblebees are there, it hums and buzzes, it is the only way in the bush.
The early Helleborus niger are gladly accepted as a food source.
Most recently photographed in the garden today:
and the Christmas rose:
The large ironwood tree blooms and straight. Unfortunately I can shoot any bees in it - but the flowers so I can show you anyway:
He also an important food for insects in this season.
Other forage plants in our garden: snowdrops, winter aconite, Witch Hazel.
this opportunity I would like to recall the action bee deaths - a call that the use of poisons as to ban from fields that are deadly to bees and lead to death of bees worldwide.
We can all help to protect and save the bees by supporting the petition: https
