    We have had them around since January and they are everywhere in our garden. I don't know whether it is the thousands of Primulas that we have growing wild in the garden attract them. We had bees very early that were flocking to our Hellebores and Heather and we enjoy the sound of them buzzing around us.

    What is a group of ladybirds called? :scratch:

          Talking of collective nouns, apparently, for those with green fingers, it's "a sprinkle of gardeners".

          So that's two new ones I've learnt today!!

          Edited to add:
          With this forum, maybe it should be a flood of gardeners, or a glut of gardeners.
