I think bumblebees are some of the loveliest creatures. They are so clumsy and everytime I hear one buzz by it makes me smile. So when I saw instructions in NZ Gardener Magazine on how to make my very own bumblebee house I was quick to show them to my personal builder. He created a wonderful masterpiece in my fav colour lavender and gave it to me as a birthday present. This weekend I put some pine needles inside for insulation and popped it beside the Pieris japonica (Japanese andromeda) they frequent so hopefully in September I can lure an emerging queen bumblebee to this humble abode.
