Oh man. These chaps and chapesses are all going to wake up and hatch soon. The blossom’d better be out! #bees #solitarybees #redmasonbees #pollinators

While we snuggle indoors, many of the UK's wild #bees are similarly tucked up, waiting for spring to emerge. These are overwintering cocoons of the pretty Red Mason Bee, a fantastic #pollinator. Honey Bees are amazing, but let's not forget the rest of the UK's 270-odd wild species. #solitarybees

Correct! Take a bow. They belonged to my granddad. He came back from the Front but was gassed and traumatised. He was never quite. the same, my mum said. Such a gentle man; loved horses. They pulled the big guns his regiment fired. At least his hearing was fine. He’s in these pics.

A guessing game! I know what these are - just found them in my mum’s roof. Can you guess? Nothing to do with bees and insects btw - but the hashtags will give you a clue. #WW1 #Historians #History #RoyalArtillery
