is bees with bottle.
The peach and nectarine trees are out in wondrous bloom and producing a wondrous mass of flowers that give an image of fragile beauty. when the reality is that they are as tough as old boots and burst into life at the first sign of a ray of sunlight. The trouble is that the bees are snivelling bastards who won't move until it is warm enough to swan around in bikinis. In consequence, the fruit does not get fertilised and honest Brits are forced to fall back on the rock hard crap sold in Sainsbury's |

Build a hotel for the other wild bees and bumble bees that start earlier!

mowlickBy the way, there is also another solution: Pay attention to about 01:30! This is how it's made in China, where parts of the country have become literally inhabitable for bees (was quite shocking to me when I saw that movie about 10 years ago)
Some additions to the bee hotel in the video I presented one posting before: it doesn't cover all species. Some just need a little place in the garden that consists of sand only (or with only very few plants) that is protected enough to be not flooded in heavy rain. They are digging their bumblebee nest therein. And this is the place where - with a little luck - you can also see parasite wasps that use them for their benefit. Alternatively: And search for videos how to build a 'sandarium'... And leave one big vertical old trunk in the garden for attracting the biggest impressing cutie: Xylocopa violacea
