  • Bumblebees are swarming bees like the honeybee & have a queen
  • There are over 20 species of bumblebee in Ireland
I got this 2 yrs ago and put it in a sunny spot in the flower bed and noticed it is being used by bumblebees this year.
Ordered a few items earlier this week, and they arrived on Thursday, 21st, two days ago, with free delivery. 5 young blackthorns was amongst the order, all so well packed and delivered.
Best service available in this country!
