I have counted 9 ladybirds on the bush outside my office, and one big bumblebee :j

What have you spotted?

I had ladybirds hibernating in my dead tomato plants from last year, I hope it's ok to pull them up now.

Been on the garden weeding and loads of ladybirds on the plants and my washing, also a huge bumble bee was on the front door for ages before flying off.

Since ladybirds hibernate all winter, they are probably the same as honey bees in that the first thing they need to do when they are up and about is, to speak plainly, cr*p, and like honey bees, they seem to like nothing better than clean white washing to do it on. Your washing will probably dry with lots of little brown spots all over.......;)
