\"PhotoThere seems to have been an explosion of bumble bees this summer.\u00a0 They are seen working hard collecting nectar on all the flowers, as well as literally getting under foot when walking across the field.\u00a0 They seem to particularly like the clover flowers.\u00a0\u00a0Although there are \"Photoso many different flowers currently in full bloom, that there is a lot\u00a0of nectar options\u00a0to choose from.\u00a0 I have spotted a few honey bees too but not as many as the swarms I have seen in previous years.\u00a0 Fortunately I have spotted no wasps or hornets, which makes enjoying evening meals outside very pleasant.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0have read that as well as honey bees, even the bumble bee is under threat.\u00a0\u00a0So I like to think that in a corner of South Somerset, they are not just surviving but thriving.\u00a0 Interestingly\u00a0there are apparently 24 different types of bumblebee found in the UK.\u00a0 I am afraid I am not sure what species these pictures are of.\u00a0\u00a0Nor am I sure\u00a0whether they are just one species or\u00a0several different ones.\u00a0 Any\u00a0knowledgeable\u00a0thoughts\u00a0would be much appreciated!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, around the farm, the children are almost complaining about the frequency of our barbeques because the weather has been so lovely.\u00a0 What is nicer than \"Photositting out\u00a0watching the wildlife, while enjoying food cooked\u00a0over an open fire with homemade charcoal?\u00a0 I believe that how to make the charcoal will be the subject of a future blog from Rich.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of salad leaves now ready to go with\u00a0a barbeque.\u00a0\u00a0My personal favourites are\u00a0the\u00a0edible flowers.\u00a0 Nasturtiums as pictured, can be safely eaten and add a lovely splash of colour to your food. \u00a0Which brings us back to the bees enjoying the flowers, while we relax and enjoy watching their hard work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
