The herb garden is at its finest, with a whole host of flowers opening and doing their thing. We had glorious sunshine yesterday afternoon, and the bees were busy working away on all the blossoms.. I've never seen so many. And I'm glad I put a pot of chives on the kitchen windowsill, because I get to see the many bee visits at close quarters while I'm cooking or washing up!
Also, this year, the valerian and sunflowers are about eye-level height.. so I can get a really good look at the bees (who don't seem to mind as they are so busy in the flowers!). I've seen big fat bumbles, but also longer narrow bees and I've decided to try and find out a bit more about the
different types of bee that might visit an English garden.

Lovely bee post.....and so many...that is good to see. They love chive blooms, and the beautiful open sunflower.
You prove with your roof top garden that wildlife can be attracted anywhere at all, as long as you have the right plants and environment.
Wonderful hedgewitch, thank you.
