The bees are still busy.

Temperatures have been up to 11C, calm and sunny the last few days.

Bombus Terrestris Queen on Viburnum Bodnantense Dawn. 

 We have seen up to 4 at a time foraging on this shrub including one collecting pollen.

Honey bee on Viburnum Bodnantense Dawn, I think this bee was only exploring.

 

I have not seen more than one honey bee at a time  on Viburnum Bodnantense Dawn and no sign of gathering nectar. 

EDIT - In Jan 2015 I saw honeybees collecting pollen from this viburnum.

 Honey bee in a Penstemon flower, foraging, exploring???

Here she is climbing out after being in there about 2 mins.

The bumble bees enjoyed the Penstemon in the summer but I haven't seen honey bees on it before.

 The Mahonia is still covered with foraging honey bees.
The bumbles love it too.

Borage.
