User's notes
The featured bee was inside a towel I had just got off the line. Took 2 quick pics and managed to shake it off the towel outside. But I had noticed 2 Blue banded bees on my lavender a few minutes earlier. See last pic. The lavender is back in flower this week very unusually , presumably due to unseasonal heat. Not sure when the bees will get a rest from the hard work this year.
