    Best place to get a WBC

    Not sure if this helps or is in budget but bxxs-online.co.uk supply a WBC kit in their rock bottom range. £266 for a cedar kit, or £298 for a 14x12 kit - not assembled. No idea if they are the cheapest.

    Could someone ID this please?

    A picture of the leaves would be really helpful. Agree not a buddleia, much too early. Other option also from the prunus family is prunus lusitanica, or Portuguese laurel.

    Spring Bulbs

    I planted a lot of Chionodoxa and Scilla last year, in bold patches in the borders between the summer perenials, the bees seemed to like them. I am going to plant camassia this year, in part of the garden with long grass. I can recommend gee-tee bulbs as a good supplier (I have no link to...

    Plant identification please

    It is a burdock, and I think Greater Burdock, there is a variety called Lesser Burdock which has smaller flowers than the Greater, but otherwise they are very similar. My bees work it as well. There was only 1 picture posted.

The only thing I am not so keen on with M is the wooden runners which are part of their design but I think I will plane...
