I was reading a thing - can't remember where - and the bee experts don't want us creating more hives, they want us growing more habitat
Like having your garden full of pollinating flowers and plants is better than a hive

there are a couple of good books by a lad called dave goulson, well recommended if this is an interest.

our ceanothus (aka californian lilac) has been humming with bees recently. we've considered getting those yokes dudley has - echiums - but the garden is kinda full already.

I have a couple of these in my garden. They take about two years to grow to any height and then bloom for a summer before dying. But when they're in bloom the bees go apeshit for them. They look awesome too. They replicate like mad, so you need to keep the seedlings in check, but that's the only work required

Electrician was a no-show today. This is… problematic, as we were kind of hoping to have electricity in the kitchen that’s being installed tomorrow.

Bad form.

Bad form.

It is less than ideal. I’ve since been assured that we’ll either have an electrician here by 8am or they’ll just work around the installed kitchen after the fact.

I’ll take option a please.

Is your first fix in?

You have conduit and outlet boxes and whatnot?

Mostly. Some couldn’t be done until the old kitchen came out….
