Like▼Drinking their fill on a Saturday night! - Bees in France
Heads down at the Squash Bar – that’s where I found some of our bees when I checked out the squashes in the veg garden yesterday. They have a choice of several different types ranging from courgettes to butternut and pumpkins and last night they were at the pumpkin bar! As squashes have female and male flowers they need flying pollinators to cross pollinate the flowers and ensure healthy fruit...Expand this post »
