DIDO.1 20,846 Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 This mild weather isn't good for anything. The whole natural world benifits from a cold dry winter. Insects are waking up but there is nothing for them to eat. I'm getting reports of queen wadps about and I found some bee hives the other day with bees coming and going. I'll admit it's nice though having a bit of sun and blue sky, helps beat the depression brought on by the horrible grey rain soaked days 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
