#Bumblebee queens emerge in early spring from #hibernation and immediately need to feed - that’s why early flowering plants are so important. Apart from feeding their mission at this time is to find a suitable site to establish a nest. Hence you will observe queens flying low 2/8
Hold up on the outdoor #Spring clean-up! Raking lawns and gardens now could be destroying overwintering #bees and their habitats. Wait until temps are regularly 10C before tidying twigs and leaves. The bees thank you. 🐝 https://t.co/QLtXtQBrYp
