How exciting to have a hive on the site. I'm trying to encourage more bees to visit my garden by creating a wildlife border. I have written about this on my blog.
Tim,
You have solved one of my dilema's. I posted a photo of what looks an awful lot like your cornflower on my blog today. Of course I didn't know what it was, I just called it a blue star. I like the way mine looks, but I still don't have the color quite right. Do you use a filter, or is it just your natural lighting over there. (It is different, not as harsh as here). The allotment looks great and as you know I am also fond of bees. Good to hear from you.

Hi Jo, Kat!
I'll be sure to reply to your blogs a.s.a.p. By the way, have you checked each others out? They are both brilliant!!
Hi Mr Lee. One of 'those' comments that I'll grit my teeth and allow through as your work looks great. Good luck!
I checked out Kat's blog. It is brilliant indeed!
Rain.. "It's good for the soil" I often quote. From where.. I'm not sure :)
Bombus pratorum Off to look it up!
Yes, Jimmy, I agree. "This bee has the most colour variation of the six common species." Quote from below site:

Hi Tim,
the iris is beautiful, here every night snails hunting.
Beautiful pic off the cornflower Tim.
Regards to you & Hugs :o)

Hi Rita, Jimmy
Apologies for my delay in responding. Sadly, many things are currently even more beyond my control than usual :(
Sorry to hear about your snails, Rita. I'm lucky in that I can 'relocate' them over my fence onto the railway embankment. I guess your neighbours might object :)
Cheers Jimmy on the latest info concerning the bumble! I've updated my tags accordingly.
Hoping you and yours both are doing fine,
Tim 'n Hugs :o)x
