 <\/p>\n

   Ian Cooper sends some photographs of bees.  We are having difficulty in identifying bees at the moment, and would welcome help from any knowledgeable viewers.  In the meantime, we are grateful to Annie Pang, who is rapidly learning bees and is making her best efforts for us.<\/p>\n

   The first is relatively easy – it’s a Honey Bee<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
