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...
