Reply to annekneebone - Anne, if you live in the south the bumbles were probably nesting under your hedge. There are increasing numbers of buff-tailed bumblebees establishing colonies over winter. And one of the best plants for bumblebees is red clover, so if you could grow some in a pot or let areas of your lawn go unmowed for a few weekd in summer you'll have loads of bumbles visiting!
