All this good weather has an alternative perspective; spotted first Cabbage White butterfly today.



Then there were two :blink:

  Not seen one yet thankfully but did watch a honey bee hovering over my new chicken house for a good hour! It kept chasing other stuff away

Sonia - the bee may have been a male waiting for a passing female to mate with - I've seen this in my back garden and after a little research I found out that males often hover in a single spot waiting for a female to pass by and mate with and it does give the appearance of them chasing things away

killed a cabbage white in my polytunnel yesterday -- I still have a lot of spring cabbage in there

Me too - like us they were just waiting for the first sunny day.

Last year we had clouds of the little white blighters all over and despite netting they manages to get eggs on the leaves, I think because the leaves grew to touch the netting!
