BBC's Autumnwatch started this week and I was interested to hear that at this time of year Ivy pollen/nectar is a vital food source of many insects and in particular Ivy Bees. Ivy Bees are a relative newcomer to the UK and are slowly spreading northward. Each morning Millie and I walk past an Ivy bush growing on a fence. The past few week it has been covered in flying insects. I assumed they were wasps but maybe they are Ivy Bees.
