His. More likely.

Why? I thought all worker bees were female - is it a drone \ how can you tell?

I thought they were all male. Isn’t the only female the Queen?

Don’t think so, Queen, male drones and female workers - point 5 here

You inspired to save one today also. It got stuck in my pop up greenhouse and had stopped flying around. Managed to move it onto the spoon without it going off, where like yours it fed and then flew off replenished. I love having bees and hover flies in the garden.

Couple of quick pics - some ‘fun’ weather today.

My favourite is going up, composing the shot, only to realise I didn’t put the SD card in. Doh!

These foxes start clubbing at a young age - I blame the parents!

Did anyone see these two fly over around lunchtime? The seem to be Apaches (?) loaded with loads of surveillance equipment. Timestamp is 12.46pm in case anyone can did out a flight radar assuming they’re even tracked at all.

They made hell of a noise.

If they are US Apaches then they won’t show up on Flightradar.

so the question is, what are they doing here?

Just passing through?

by ‘here’ I meant in the UK, but it would appear we have UK Apaches in the airforce https://www.army.mod.uk/equipment/aircraft/ so yes probably passing through.

I wondered what the helicopters that I heard were as I could tell they had a different sound to the police and air ambulance helicopters we hear more regularly and the chinooks that go over from time to time. By the time I got to a window next door’s large tree blocked the view of them!

Yeah, as far as I can remember we’ve had them for some time. I don’t know the exact date they were put into service but we’ve had them since before the invasion of Iraq. I’ve seen them before here and elsewhere in London and like you I’ve wondered where they’d come from and where they were going but after some thought it’s unlikely that they’d land anywhere in Greater London on a regular or infrequent basis so my conclusion - along with Chinooks - is that they’re just passing through.
