A plate of grated apple with water is good.

We had a bird box in the table outside the back door that I was going to clean out but before I had chance it was taken over by tree bumble bees.

I misread this as beers in the garden. I'm not sharing those with the bees though, they can fuck off

I’ve seen so many bees dead in the floors on the hot days. It’s so sad.

I’ve got a few dishes around.

Good idea above with the Apple.

There are differing opinions on whether people should do this or not. I'm not sure what to make of it.

Please please please DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!

Sick bees naturally move away from the hive so as not to infect the entire colony. When u give sugar /energy to a diseased bee you are sending it back to the colony and risk killing thousands of more bees than the one you should have let die. Do the bees a fave leave them they know far more than we do about looking after each other.

When I used to live out in the sticks, I used to have a mini orchard at the top of my garden (apple, pear, plum, cherry trees), there was a couple who lived across the road that had 2 hives in their garden. It was a battle of wits as to who got the fruit first

The best thing is to grow things they like to pollinate, avoid pesticides, install nests for solitary bees

I have left part of my small garden wild, this is for all insects. This has encouraged more bees into my garden

They did well to pollinate the blackberry flowers. Crop will be huge this year.

Some bees are but not bumble bees or honey bees. They live in colonies.
