Death to the bees
« on: July 11, 2009, 09:31:05 pm »
Ok, i know we are meant to love them and they are all good sorts but..............

it takes me 1 hour to cut my grass on a good day, however, its now taking me over 2 hours as i am having to stop to make sure i don't mow up any bees that are enjoying the wee flowers in my lawn

now, there comes a time when i'm just gonna lose it and mow them all down!!

come on bees, help me to help you and buzz off out of the grass - it's not like i've not planted enough flowers for you to play in!!

lol.. you could try cutting the grass earlier in the morning , before they venture out , or later in the evening , after they have settled down  !!! either way .....problem solved !! Now you just have to fit everything else around mowing the lawn  !!!! ::) ;D

cheers

Or do it more often so the flowers (clover in my case) doesn't get a chance to flower.  I have the same problem, and it's even more difficult with a ride-on - try swerving round thirty or forty bees - my lawn is only half cut this time!  I'd been away fro a week and it was hoaching with clover heads and daisies.

it's my own fault, i like it when the little flowers (mostly also clover) appear.

i know hte beasties like it and i like to encourage them - but surely they'll move when they see the green monster coming!!

I think Russ's suggestion is best. We let the clover flower especially for the bees and Dan also stops to move them on!

That must be an incredibly amusing, or just perplexing, sight to watch someone stop mowing every few metres to shoo some bees away! ;D
