In flower …
The honey bees were in flight at the weekend. Possibly just ‘cleansing’ flights rather than foraging.
As we prepare for a good frost tonight, the garden was making itself itself ready for the early pollinators to follow:
 |
| Evergreen honeysuckle |
 |
| Cyclamen coum |
 |
| Hellebore foetida |
 |
| Wintersweet |
 |
| Winter aconite |
 |
| Primrose |
 |
| Snowdrop |
 |
| Daffodil Rijnvelds Early Sensation |
 |
| Saxifrage |
 |
| Heather Erica carnea |
 |
| Viburnum Bodnantense ‘Dawn’ |

Bees in January, that's very early!
Honey bees leave their colonies for short ‘cleansing flights’ on cold bright days to defaecate.
