So you need to act fast.
Don’t leave her suffer while you do something else (with good intentions to get to her at some stage - which you might forget).

Willow Trees.
Queen Bumblebees.
Spring.
One of the most vital plants for #bumblebees (and a host of other #insects).
Provide a desperately needed early #food source.
Now you know.
Respect, protect and plant Willow trees.
