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’

    Honey bees leave their colonies for short ‘cleansing flights’ on cold bright days to defaecate.
