A great Beewalk today, counting bumblebees for the Bumblebee Conservation Trust. Anyone can create a route (needs to be approx 1k) and count bees between March and October to contribute to this vital data gathering project. More details at www.beewalk.org.uk. Today, Andy and Jo's eagle eyes helped us to spot an abundance of bumblebees - some busy, some less so! Huge thanks to everyone for supporting Colchester's local wildlife and capturing the all important numbers.
