Came over here from Susan's blog.
The little house you saw the bees near is an insect refuge. They have them to encourage more bees because bees seem to be decreasing in population. But also they can be a harbour for ladybirds, and other insects.
you can see more at this site.

Sandy in the UK
Hi! I'm glad my friend Sandy could answer your question. I met Sandy while in England last August. She's a very, very talented seamstress living in England but originally from the USA. She's a member of SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) and organized the volunteers for the SAQA booth at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham. She had a great "fantasy" costume (the kind you'd really like!) in the fashion show. It was cool to sit with someone who had a garment on the catwalk.
By the way ... Happy Spring! Nice photos!
