The bees in the garden are really active in the warm sun today. Not the mad "let's get out there because it's our only chance" activity of some recent sunny periods, but hard at work or sunning themselves.They are bringing in lots of pollen now too. They are definitely on the crocuses and a few are unmistakeably visiting the snowdrops. The winter/spring heathers are really buzzing as is the sweet box (sarcococca confusa) both of which are being harvested for pollen and nectar I suspect.
