I thought I was imagining it, when I opened up the house this morning – a hum so loud, that it sounded like some kind of machine running on idle.
But as I stepped out into the garden, I realised what it was – bees!
Standing underneath or tall trees all abloom with delicate white and pink flowers, the hum of our working bees is an amazing thing. I tried to take photos of them busily searching, but there were far too many whizzing around near my face and outstretched-camera-clad-hand, and I was too nervous – sorry!
But, best of all! I found them all over our carefully planted and tended plots, where small flowers are unfurling, turning their heads towards the light…
I’m hoping that the visiting bees may just mean a big, beautiful harvest of lots of spring and summer fruit and vegetables this year – they really are the most miraculous little creatures, don’t you think?
Do you have a garden in bloom at the moment? Or plans for a spring garden?
