I planted four lavendar plants across my allotment a few years ago and they produce more and more flowers each year. Today they were in the fullest bloom I have seen – with an incredible number of different types of bees all feasting whilst I gently weeded around them. It felt like a bit of disco party for them with them dancing around whilst gorging on the pollen. There were a huge variety of bees – some had white body markings – but I was fascinated by the pronounced veins on this one.
