In sorting the garden the other day I unwittingly disturbed the entrance to a bumble bee nest... There was some confusion in the ensuing hour or so as returning bees at first struggled to find the entrance, but they did and now all seems fine... This morning bees seem to be tidying and organising little pathways in the tufted grass .. #2hollycottage

Yesterday's deluge threatened to kill the hay harvest, but today's sunshine and warmth suggests that all is not lost. #2hollycottage
