If you think this crocus has a crazy stamen it’s really a queen tree bee having a drink of nectar. This photo was snapped in the garden last week along with the bumble bee. The one on the Drumstick Primula is a red tailed bumble bee.

If you see bees in your garden this handy guide will help you identify others. If you spot any, let us know and we will add to our list, better still if you have a photo please send to us and we will post.

Bee happy
