My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Bumble Bees are missing this year

7 years ago

Our gardens are usually busy with Bumble Bees and other pollinators this time of year. This year - I have seen ONE Bumble Bee. They are totally missing and I am worried. Anyone else missing bees in their gardens this year? We do not spray insecticides, have many plants with pollen that attracted them. Walking this morning, we saw no bees around the wild honeysuckle vines. I am afraid something is seriously wrong.
