Talkback: The insects have gone berserk - Page 2

I mentioned above that the bees had not really treated our Poppies with much interest this year. After the rain last weekend though they too were going berserk! Some photos here. http://mobiletechandgardening.blogspot.com/2011/05/bees-are-getting-high-in-poppies-again.html Cheers m

I am being absolutely inundated with hoverflies at the moment,I have to catch and release at least a hundred every evening that have got trapped in my conservatory and tap on the glass roof,never had this before.Also have lots of butterflies and ladybirds in the garden.Is it the weather?

Have seen a similar amount of insect life. Also have noticed the flowers that the bees love coming out earlier than last year. Out Poppies are out in abundance and from my photos last year this was towards the end of May as opposed to the end of April. So far the bees have not gone as berserk in our poppies as they did last year http://mobiletechandgardening.blogspot.com/2011/04/plotting-early-morning-escape-poppies.html Cheers Murray
