   <br/>Dear All, 
   <div>
    &#160; &#160; I have to date seen only one wild Bee in the yard and none elsewhere. I suspect deep frost killed many ground dwellers but saw some bee workings on a south facing sandy bank today; less than usual but still numerous. How did they fare elsewhere ?&#160;

    &#160; &#160; Also perhaps someone knows how they move soil to the surface. These cones of soil are so delicately poised that the size is often about halved if touched when dry. Presumably they are made when soil is wet but I wonder how they manage to move soil to the surface.
