You can help to save the british bumble bee by allowing it to nest in your garden. They really arent a danger like wasps are and infact take great precautions against stinging people because once they sting something they die.

Bees are absolutely vital to the british ecology and the loss of these species will hav an enormous impact on our environment

We have loads in our garden, I don't think they're in any trouble there....

 

i was reading a story about how it might be cell phone usage and their transmission towers that are cause mass hive extinctions everywhere. freaky, eh? all sorts of bees. i've only seen one bumblebee in a couple years now. it makes me sad. it's the only buzzing insect that doesn't send me screaming for the bug spray.

 

1 in two years ??? where do you live ?
Even in london I have seen more than that, hang on no - now I come to think of it
You are right I havent seen many in two years but I have seen some --

damn yoiuve got me now because three years ago I remember seeing plenty but now I cant remember how many I've seen since then, if any other than the two this week?

 

well, i'm in the rocky mountains of colorado. maybe it's an altitude thing. but i used to see them all the time, now i don't see any. though, for honeybees, my neighbors blossoming trees are covered in them.

 

really? maybe it is a altitude thing, did you read those links though as scientists are worried that the crops may fail catastrophically without those bees

 

Bees are dwindling. Maybe if people set up a few bee hives, that may encourage more.

 

I've seen loads. I saw about 10 outside my friends house the other day.

 

i'm curious, luke, are there loads of cell phone transmission towers around your home?

 

Not really. The Welsh Vallies are a very rural area. We have plenty of grass and foliage which probably makes a nice place for Bee's to stay. But I'm not too sure. All I know is that Wales has plenty of the buggers.

 

i've seen a few bees already. i had to shout at my cat the other day because he tryed to catch on in the garden & i have seen him catch them before. bad cat, i dont mind him catching wasps tho & he's caught a few of them already in the house.

 

Yeah I've seen quite a few too, didn't know they were on the decline. That sucks big hairy sweaty ballbags...

 

I love your sig Torz, have you got more photos just like that one. I could become a collector! Next time lower the camera just ever so slightly and sit MUCH closer when in a bathing cotume like that ! it will do wonders for the popularity of your posts and threads I know I am a huge fan of yours now

 

oh, great, act like a pig and ruin it for all of us. that's just fantastic.

 

Thanks I was hoping to get some recognition for my work
