Bumble Beeeeeeees

I am loving this beautiful weather, especially after such a harsh Winter. I've started sowing this years seeds, so far tomatoes, sugar snaps, climbing beans and corn. I'm guessing the bees that keep flying into the greenhouse/conservatory are queen bees because they are enormous!! I've never seen such big bumble bees!

When helping the third bee escape I noticed these little pods around her head...it must be Pollen!! Until one started moving...mites!!!!

Found this great article "How to Repair a Bumble Bee" on the uksafari site...

Photo Shoot

I’ve spent the whole morning down at the Creative Mwldan in Cardigan, getting snaps of my new designs. An action shot with my lovely photographer Noelle Pollington. She brought along Jones The Graphics (who did my website) and their beautiful baby boy Jonah.

All will be on the website very soon…

Wow, what a week. For those who couldn't make it...my stand @ TENT - launching my new re-plied Top Series & Beveled Mirrors.
