I have two solitary bee boxes in my garden, i think its important to encourage bees with wildflowers and nest sites, if too many bee species become scarce crops will be affected and really we can't get by without our flying friends

It's not only that but I can't see any trace of frogs misbehaving in my pond this year i.e. no frog spawn - whether they are just late or taking a gap year, I don't know.
