Probabluy hiding from the rain, like the bees. I have planted bee/butterfly-enticing plants for years now (my lavender hedge in the front garden is gorgeous) but whilst I had early bees/butterflies on my chives and other herbs a couple of months ago - now there are practically none.
I spotted just 2 bees on the fully-flowering lavender yesterday. It's so cold and damp though that we cannot smell it as we usually could when we came in.
I'm told by experts that it is the weather and that they (bees etc., not experts) will recover .... not convinced......
They are either sheltering from the wind and rain of this summer, or have perished.
Last week on one of the very rare warm days, I saw a Swallowtail, which was a treat beyond treats. (Norfolk Broads) it supports my theory and hope therefore that they are sheltering and just waiting as we all are, for a late summer.
