I do that too! They make their way to the top and I can help them out. I also always leave the lid propped open an inch or two.

Sorry, I don’t know.
I only see them occasionally, despite having good numbers of HFFBs.

That’s interesting info, thanks!
Yes I get Yellow legged mining bees but I think I’ve only seen a single Ashy mining bee here in the last few years.
Great video!

Yes, I love this time of year and looking out for all the different insect species as they emerge. It’s a pity it’s about to get colder again though!
I think I only saw one or two last year and generally my butterfly numbers were low last year.

I always seem to get good numbers of Bumblebees and have lots of crocus and Pulmonaria for them at this time of year.
