A month ago the Tennis Club gardeners saved an exhausted Queen Bee. The last month has not been particularly kind to her as Spring has not quite hit the accelerator pedal with any reliability.

Yesterday might just have tipped the balance. A day of almost constant sunshine.

Pollen was popping out all over.

I was out and about in the sunshine a lot yesterday. The Tennis Club was buzzing with builders and allotment holders. But as yet no more buzzy bees.

The pollens are waiting.
