What else can I do but wait patiently. I confess I look in and around the little wooden bee house quite often to see if any native bees have arrived, but there is only disappointment. Where are those native bees? The wooden bee house is strategically nailed to the post of the Bali Hut in my garden and you would think that they could not resist coming to live here.
There has to be native bees still happily flying from flower to flower, or else why are these little bee houses being sold? The information stapled to the house in the garden shop very clearly intimated this was the case. Or perhaps I got carried away, a much likely scenario. My imagination goes a tad wild being the optimistic person I am.
This photo was snapped at 7 this morning when checking yet again, and sorry am not too sure with the shadow or not. Otherwise it is quite okay, at least to me.
Native bees are smallish and do not sting, so it is all safe if hordes of them come to live in amongst my flowers. I followed the directions making sure that lots of flowers were nearby. for this reason I have not yet planted the seeds from the sachet included in my buy. I remain forever hopeful that the bees will fly into my flowers and see the bee house.
Here a few photos of bright happy flowers I checked out while outside bright and early this morning. No matter the time of day there is #alwayaflowertime to brighten me up. Pink chrysanthemums, purple and white petunias and delicate pink azaleas, all emanating magical flower power! Sending gratitude to for bringing Hive this tag.
There are sure to be lots of excitement when native bees are seen in the garden. Expect to hear!
Cheers
At least there is one little bird, a lovely green pottery one enjoying the ambience of my garden. I tend to be an eclectic decorator in my garden, whatever catches my eye is my style.
