April: sun, showers and earlier flowers.

Just in case you zoom in to read the text, it says: Life begins the day you start a garden. (Chinese proverb)
We put up a number of these for an open garden day last year.

That’s wonderful. Are the bees getting out?

I'm not able to (legally) go into that orchard but in the traditional orchard nearby where I walk the dogs and have lots of hives, the bees are on the flowers and flying enthusiastically - when the sun is out. I reckon the warmth of the sun ('apricity' again 😊 ) is about 5-7 degrees above the air temperature.
 
Hope you can open this. I made a rough and ready bee hotel during the early spring which attracted this wasp and caterpillar (and loads of solitary bees). It was so quick I had to take a quick snap hence the fuzziness. Probably never get another chance. Hope this works as I was messing about with the file to enlarge it.
