BUMBLEBEE NESTS
Nest sites vary between bumblebee species. Most of the more common species prefer dry, dark cavities and nests can turn up in a variety of unexpected places. Some nest underground, in places such as abandoned rodent holes, under sheds and in compost heaps. Of those that nest above ground, some make nests in thick grass, while othersmake nests

Calon Gwenyn – ‘Bee Heart’ Calon Gwenyn (‘Bee Heart’), is a three-year project, located in Wales following on from the successful Calon Wen ‘Pastures for Pollinators’ project, which demonstrated that simple changes to the management of farm grassland and other habitats, can benefit pollinators, without sacrificing farm productivity and profitability.IVY MINING BEE
Ivy mining bees are relative newcomers to the UK, first spotted in 2001. They can be seen in autumn, coinciding with the flowering of Ivy, which, as their name suggests, is their main food resource. These bees are medium to large (just bigger than a honeybee), with ginger thoraxes and distinct orange/yellow striped abdomens. Female Ivymining bee.
