So excited it’s September… the month when our home town is peppered with pollinator parties at every ivy plant. Ivy bees are our main distraction though today the number of butterflies, hornet mimicking hoverflies and bumblebees at our favourite spot was extraordinary.

Bees and dinosaurs… so this is going to be a bit of a random post following a chain of thought about whether bees ever hung out with dinosaurs. It’s prompted by a @gogodiscover21 dinosaur hunt around #norwich and discovering this striking fella by artist Illona Clarke.

Wanted to share a quick purple post as we leave August and arrive into September.

Happy Saturday folks!

NEW TUBES: Soooo we wanted to share a quick post about the journey we’re on, partly to thank some of the wonderful folk who generously keep us on the right track.

Our brains are all obsessed with pollen this week… prompted by appreciating how similar the pollen baskets on a bumblebee are to the look of marzipan.

Our fuchsia is out and it’s reminded us that we need to make sure we’re not overlooking bumblebees while we’re largely distracted by solitary bees. Here are two bees we spotted in the garden this morning… a common carder bee and a buff tailed bumblebee.

WE MADE A THING: Sooooo we love experimenting and are rarely happier than when we’re exploring whether some bright idea might work. One thing we hear a lot from people at events and workshops is that they don’t have an ideal wall for a bee hotel… especially in terms of the direction a wall faces. So we thought we’d prototype something that might help…. emphasis on the might.

So we went on a new hunt this morning. Last July we saw our first pantaloon bee… and last year’s encounters were all too brief. Sadly last year’s spot has been keenly mown this year and so we headed to a nearby spot abundant in their favourite flower.

It’s a lazy weekend leafcutter bee post today. The weather here in Great Yarmouth is gorgeous and so we’re off to the beach to explore the bees of the sand dunes and coastal banks. Happy Saturday bee saviour citizens 🐝💚🌍

Which of our bee hotels was nested in first? At the beginning of the spring we were quite distracted by this question. Bees for us are all about curiosity and we love a good question.

Finally a day with space for a bee stake out… and we couldn’t be happier that the bee we get to loiter in search of today is a flower bee… we’re thinking this one is a four-banded flower bee.
