Mowed the lawn today and went to empty the grass into the compost. Turns out we've got some white tailed bee's currently living in there. I'm more than happy to leave them to it, but was wondering if anyone knew how long a hive is used for, before dying/moving?
Are they apostrobee's?
(IGMC....)
Shap'oh capn, shap'oh.
We had some white ass bumbles in our compost. They stayed for the summer then moved on/died.

I see what you did there. Apolo-gee's for my error.
Bee's rock. Especially as they will pay some of mine and colleagues salary for a few years...we just heard we have £1.3m funding to get bees into secondary school grounds across the UK.

And they know how to party.

we had a nest in the cavity wall they could get into the bathroom from there,big buggers, like flying mice. had to get them nuked sadly. I think the white assed ones are protected? probably ok in garden
