Bumblebees are looking for a home

In the last week or so I have seen the first bumblebees flying around.
These will be females looking to establish a nest so its time for me to get the bumblebee house I bought last year ready.
It is quite a simple thing and I tempted to make some myself as its just a box with straw, paper, kapok and The Special Ingredient.
It will be facing the field at the end of my garden along with the solitary bee boxes I have put together.

I spoke to the farmer recently about the field and he told me he intends re-seeding it with wild flower mix. This produces a number of different varieties of flower throughout the year which is good news for my bees; honey, bumble and solitary.
