ShootingEgg Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Just turned onto bbc2 and it's an old packham show about bumble bee's.. And crows predate on the bee nests. So maybe that's an angle we can go back at WJ? Maybe bumble bee protection is a good way of justifying pest control??? Never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Badgers do more harm than crows. They have dug out twelve nests on my ground this year to my knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Yes, but you are forgetting nature will find its own balance and everything will be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Most certainly a great shortage of bumbles on our property this year again and I grow bushes, flowers and plants just for them. I'm betting a badger had dug the nest out for them first but of course they would not show that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Seen more wasps than bumble bees this year. Packham has changed over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only showed smaller predators at the hole, if it had been dug up they'd never air that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
