Welcome to the TAS Norman .
All you need is bees that will fly at less than 10 oC  and some flowers with pollen and nectar.

I'm to the left of you at the West End of the M4  . We have loads of buttercups, a few dandelions  and a few flowers in the garden that are being eagerly attended by bumblebees and solitary bees but we've not see a single honey bee since the warm four days in early May .

Hmmm, no bee or hive icon ?

Thanks for the welcome people :o)

We've got loads of various flowers etc., in the garden and they attract absolutely hundreds of bees, at this moment there around 70-80 working away out there.

Regards.

Hi from Ammanford  :wave: There seems to be an abundance of honey bees around here this year  :thumbsup:. Maybe things are looking up after a very poor 2012  :fc:
