(Why yes, I am a fan of Eddie Izzard...)
The only place in my garden that attracts bees at the moment is a monstrous pyrocantha that hums like a hive in the sunlight but is too tall for me to get photos. However here are some other bee pics from last year:
This, I think, is a red mason bee, taken in late March last year. I have some red mason bee cocoons coming next spring to release into my garden, so I need to plant some spring flowers for them!
And from July last year, a honeybee on viper's bugloss - I just planted a couple of these wildflowers in my front garden.
Both taken with an iPhone 7 Plus, using the Camera+ app's macro function.
