I left three of my leeks to flower, and the bees have gone nuts for them. I counted twelve bumble bees out there the other day! I finally captured one with my camera today.
I love leek flowers. They smell like cheese & onion crisps!
I am a 32 year old mother with 3 children. After years of trying to escape our deprived urban neighbourhood, we finally moved to a leafy, farmland-surrounded town a year ago. Now I'm really taking the plunge and am starting a smallholding from scratch.

Wow! I just clicked on this to view it large - I can't believe the detail on this shot, it's incredible.
Thanks! I love his veiny little wings.
i can suggest something else that smells like cheese and onion crisps...
cheese and onion crisps - lasts all year and doesnt attract bees ;)
my budlea in my front garden is usually covered with bees - stops the kids a few doors down running about on my lawn though ;)
