Spotted 5 or 6 on my morning ride this morning - isn't it a bit early for them?

I thought that, we had a wasp in the house yesterday and saw one today - both looked a bit drowsy

I saw a lovely juicy one yesterday in Scotlandshire and had my first tick on me today, that makes it officially that time of year.

I've seen bees around for the last couple of weeks, and there's butterflies out, saw a Tortoiseshell yesterday, and a Brimstone today while out on the bike.

I have a huge one living outside my office window, he flies into it sometimes, looks at me funny then flies away, been around for about 2 weeks now and he really is mahoosive. Don't think I've seen a bumble that big before
