This piccy is known as a "bees candy store". In previous years it would be full of bees, at least a dozen, hardly any this year.

Forget polar bears and snow leopards, the planet needs bees for our future.

Problem uploading pic,sorry.

Poisoned by the likes of Monsanto with their "harmlesss" glyphosates.
I think I saved one recently.

If you see a bee resting, give it some diluted sugar, gives it a boost, so I read.

This is where I had lots last year or so.
I have hundreds on my Michaelmas daisies at the moment :-)

That is good to hear Prudie.
I gave our bee sugar water. When I went to check on it it was gone.
We've still got quite a few around here but we are in the *** end of nowhere and a lot of organic ground around us. Loss of bees terrifies me, we're stuffed without them, plus I like the little furry bumblers.
I have saved quite a few bees by giving them a drink of sweet water and then putting them onto a flowering plant. They need all the help we can give them. I read ages ago we are having to import them from somewhere (can't remember where).

Wasps are apparently quite useful to us, though I hate them with a passion,lol.
I had a nest of bumble bees under my eaves this summer but the season is now over.Also it is getting a bit cold for bees.
Question Author
I feel better now, thanks to those who care about our buzzy little pals.
I have noticed a sharp decline in numbers, in my patch and poor harvests that follow.
They are small but play a vital part in keeping a balanced ecosystem and more must be done to increase their numbers.
I tend to like all animals even wasps, but I do love the panic they cause in a Beer garden :) x

Wasps have a tendency to deliberately annoy. Buzzing round your face for no apparent reason.
We are into October. Most of them are starting hibernation.
// Buzzing round your face for no apparent reason.//
When the bees were occupying my eaves if I stood nearby a single bee would always come and fly round me as though giving me an inspection.
EDDIE Bumble bees hibernate, honey bees do not. Although honey bees and bumble bees are very closely related, their winter behaviors are very different. A colony of honey bees will live throughout the entire winter, actively keeping the nest warm and safe. ... Only the queen bumble bees hibernate until spring.
Very happy to see our wisteria absolutely buzzing with bees this year .....it's been beautiful inspite of very little rain and the past few days has been a hive of industry
(Pardon the pun)
I've not seen a lot of bees recently, but my golf course was inundated with ladybirds this afternoon !
