We found a bundle of letters with a note on our back doorstep a couple of days ago.
This is what it said…
There are too many bees on the plants in your front garden.
Here are some of our bees.
When I photographed them they seemed more intent on collecting pollen rather than attacking postmen or anyone else for that matter.
I’m joining in with Tina at My Gardener Says for Wildlife Wednesday today.
Why not pop along for a look at some simply amazing wildlife that bloggers around the world have photographed.
Everyone is welcome to join in.
Happy Wildlife Wednesday everyone. Gillian 🙂
Lovely photos. You can never have too many bees.
That’s exactly what we all thought. We all fell about laughing.
I can’t imagine anyone complaining that you have too many bees. Well, sadly, I can. But I’m glad you took in stride and here’s to bees!! Beautiful photos , especially the close-up with the pollen. Just, wow!! So glad you joined in Gillian–what a treat!
Thanks very much for your lovely comment Tina and thanks for hosting Wildlife Wednesday.
What a silly postman! 😉
🙂
Just loved this post and the pictures! What’s wrong with the mailman?
Thanks very much for your comment. Perhaps he was frightened of being stung?
What an odd thing to write. I can’t imagine being afraid of a bee 🙂
Well it certainly amused us but perhaps he has a phobia.
This made me laugh too, thank you!
🙂
I love all sorts of insects and wildlife in the garden. If the bees are foraging and not swarming or stinging, it is just perfect. They are wonderful to watch. Maybe the postman meant it as a compliment. I photographed Holly Blue Butterflies in my garden this week.
Lovely. I’ve never even seen a blue butterfly never mind photographed one. You are so lucky.
Too many bees. The mind boggles. hahaha How many bees do they think would be appropriate? (Lovely photos btw)
He didn’t specify how many he could cope with. I have a feeling that even one would be too many!
Busy bees are brilliant. Busy body’s less so! Fabulous photos
Thanks very much Dorris.
Hilarious, although I suppose he could be allergic?
There is bound to be a really good reason why he can’t walk up the path and face the bees and then of course I will feel mean for laughing.
Too many bees ? how can that be ! Even if there were true, there is not a lot you could do about it! Lovely photos … and long may your flowers be covered in bees!
Hear hear!
Too many bees? Never heard anyone complain of that before. I bet he enjoys the honey!!! Lovely photos
It’s good to hear from you Annette. I was thinking about you today. Have you had a good summer?
Yes thanks, but a busy one. We had my son, his wife and baby (8 months) staying with us for four months. We also had my other son and family (two girls aged 4 and 18 months) visiting for a fortnight. It was lovely, but it is very quiet now they have all gone.
Wonderful photos!
Thanks very much!
