Autumn Foraging For Bees 🐝
Heather is a great little plant to pop in window boxes throughout the autumn and winter, providing colour and also nectar for any pollinators that might emerge on a sunny day. Heather also has medicinal properties for bees!

[Bumblebee Conservation Trust @BumblebeeTrust]

As summer comes to an end, new #bumblebee queens feed heavily on pollen & nectar, storing the energy as fat inside their bodies. The old queen and her nest will naturally die off by autumn. Only the new queens survive until the following year by hibernating underground.
