Summer Bright…

Posted on 18/02/2016 by aj vosse

There are joys that only summer can bring. Every season has it’s own pleasures but it’s hard to argue against the spring and summer joys. Because we’ve had such a mild winter I have seen the odd bumblebee but you’ll have to agree… seeing them in summer is so much better!

Reminders of a bright summer...

    Lovely – looking forward to getting the bees back (we haven’t seen any here in the west since November)

      Last Thursday we were in Naas, also a bright day. I went walk about and found a spot of planted heather… there must have been at least 10 bumblebees busily working away.

        That is fascinating! Just shows how mild it is.

          Scary really… then we had a real hard frost last night… so, how much of the new growth will survive? 😉

          I happened to mention to a friend who works at the National Biodiversity Centre about your sighting of the ten bumbles in Nass and he was wondering if you by any chance took a photo? He’d love to know which species – he thinks probably Buff-tailed as these are one of the earliest to appear in the spring but it would be good to have that confirmed.

            I have a few photos… buff-tailed is what crossed my mind. I have a feeling there may have been one darker tailed one as well. I’ll check the photos in the next few minutes… 😉
