Making a beeline

I accompanied my wife to the allotment early this evening to help with the watering. Our plot was alive with bees and butterflies, especially around our lavender plants, but this bee was enjoying an alium on the neighbouring plot. We went home with an early crop of runner beans and three pots full of redcurrants. The redcurrant bushes have been particularly bountiful this year but we've also had quite a few blueberries and blackcurrants.
