No wonder bees are declining in numbers. They are so stupid! This week the queen bees have emerged and I suppose are looking for summer homes. One has flown into our glassed-over balcony. I have the window wide open because I am hardening-off some broadbean plants ready for planting out. The stupid bee is ignoring a huge hole 2m x 1m, and instead it is trying to fly through the glass ceiling

They will make a "bee line" for the brightest light.

So if the Sun is high in the sky the bee has no reason to fly lower and find the hole.

I just catch them in a jar and release them.
