Hi Jan-Marie,
There’s no wonder Winston moved out, these bumble bees have no shame, the trail cam’s just recorded what I assume to be a new queen and a worker up to goodness knows what right outside his front door! Yes they’re fascinating creatures, especially watching them going in and out of the nest, I didn’t realise you could revive them with sugar water, there have been a few lifeless ones on the lawn recently so I shall give that a go…looks like I am becoming obsessed with bumble bees as well as hedgehogs! As for Winston, he’s a bit of a property magnate, he would often stay away for one or two days at a time, so it’s entirely possible that he’s just checking up on the rest of his portfolio and throwing out any squatters, he’s still regularly captured on camera rolling a few rivals around the patio! 🙂
