Today even in semi rural gardens there would be a problems from the 'Plastic' neighbours if one were to take up Bee Keeping. Imagine the £1000,000 Law Suits if little Johnny who suffers from Attention Deficit Disorder, Nut Allergy, Asthma and Compulsive Environment Destruction Syndrome were to get stung.
My alternative has no bright white Hives or suits and masks so goes unnoticed.
There has been lots of activity from several Species of Solitary Bee lately.
The Red Masons have capped off some holes using different colours of 'mortar'.
Not sure on this one yet, using the larger holes, she is most likely a Leaf Cutter.
More identifying to do this one is tiny with a square bottom.
Not all the homes are in Holly Wood. A Red Mason has capped off the ends of the Dried Broad Bean stalks which I have provided for free rental. Another Bee is about to enter another tube and another is exiting.
