Queen Bee and some garden shots.

I found this rather large Queen Bee looking for a new home in our garden.


Isn't she lovely?

What nice photo's Si. I too love gardening. Here are a few pictures from our garden. The bridge I built from scratch, using decking boards and the sides are from marine ply. The windmill, I built from a kit, the sails and top part revolve on ball bearings, when the wind catches it. The cart wheel bench came from the Range as a self assembly item. Enjoy

Isn't that a bumblebee mate ? I didn't know they were queens I just thought they was big ass bees

Nor me mate that's why I asked , I remember seeing loads as a kid but I don't see so many now

Having looked at that Bee again, I think Alan is right, it's just a Bumble Bee. Queen Honey Bees never venture out of the hive, unless they swarm to find a new home, then they fly with the whole swarm.

Great pics Si and Geoff bumble bees are a separate species, queen bees look nothing like a bumble bee, of course they are different again to masonry bees ( they areca really pest, you'd been amazed the mess they can make of a wall.

[Guest]

Would love a garden like that, nice pics

Nice photos Si. I'm on the look out for wasps looking for homes, I have my lighter and a can of air spray ready. Last year we had a wasp issue, this year I'm going to control the border
