Some Like It Hot!

So, yes, it’s been a bit warm for quite a while now….the understatement of the
summer! The sustained high temperatures have posed a real challenge for bees and
beekeepers, as well as pretty much every living thing. The heat has dried up the
nectar in plants so pollinators have had to search high and low for food, and we’ve
noticed that the flowers that are still blooming (wisteria, buddleia, hollyhocks) are
covered in butterflies, bees of every variety, wasps etc.
