Busy Bee

Good day at work and just home when I managed to catch this bumble bee busy at work on the Cyclamens in the window box. Today's Independent reported that 'Britain's bumblebees have lost 98 per cent of their preferred habitat in the last 70 years. Of the 24 native breeds, just six remain in significant numbers, and two are extinct, including the short-haired, last seen in 2000'. The plea is - 'Can we have our bees back, please?'
