Great Article - thanks for sharing this. Let's hear it for flowers, diversity and habitat. I'm inspired now to purposefully provide nesting opportunities - I think dry grass and hay under some sort of rain shield like a chunk of tin roofing or wide boards so the queen can set up a nice dry nest. I often observe local wild bumblebees doing the pollination work under unfavorable conditions that keep the honey bees at home snug in their hives. Thanks again rooibus bird.
