Where are the bees?

They’ve all come west. I’ve got loads on Linaria, and Lavender, and Eryngiums are a buzz. I’ve even seen them on my bindweed flowers! (Yes I have plenty of those) they do prefer blue flowers best of all.

My garden in S E Essex has lots of Bumblebees and other types of bees.

We have a small cottage garden in Sussex full of flowers, and every year the sunflowers, fuschia, Japanese windflower, rosebay willowherb and others are covered in bees. This year there's hardly one in sight. Very odd.
