The problem has improved now there are other flowers for them to feed on- a good excuse for leaving the early dandelions!
I could grow flowers they can get at easily, any ideas of good ones for nectar?
I could try hand pollinating but would be time consuming?
Would sowing now help? Or would they be one of the few flowering early spring and so bee more vulnerable.
Has Anyone Seen the Plot?
