I have a bee that lives in a shrub in my front garden. He lives in it all year round. He is in it now.?

Is this possible?. I thought bees lived only through the summer months. He was even there on Christmas day. Two friends remarked out it that came over for dinner.



I think the shub is called Mahoney Beaulieu (sorry not sure about the spelling). It has prickly leaves and it is now flowering all yellow petals. It smells lovely.

Hi, your shrub is Mahonia bealei, they are lovely and the scent is a knockout. Who cares about the correct spelling really, it's still the same plant isn't it?



The bee is most likely a bumble bee, there are quite a few different types in the UK. The weather has been so mild that it is not unusual for them to be around stocking up on some food, your Mahonia must be a gourmet bees delight.



Here is a link that will tell you more about bees if you are interested and may also help you identify which type it is.
