For those of you that follow the Short-haired Bumblebee Reintroduction -
www.bumblebeereintroduction.org - you'll probably be wondering how they are doing. Well, 46 of them came through quarantine successfully. The main losses were due to parasitic wasps that get to the bees before we catch them. But we had a successful release on Monday and the queens were happy to have their freedom at last.
