They seem to like to cuddle at night

Very interesting, Dave. Do it before you change your mind! I can't say
I've ever seem a Bumblebee nest, only individuals buzzing around.
Glad to read about the Cathedral(s) too but surprised it took so long
to make the necessary decisions. Most of it doesn't actually look that
unsound.

We have a hanging planter which has about a dozen holes around it.
I've recently noticed that bumblebees have been landing in the holes
to rest at night.
I had to use my phone for this because the K10D doesn't have enough
sensitivity. It's quite a heavy crop so it's not too good technically.

I'm giving some thought to building or buying them a purpose-made
bumblebee house / nesting box.
Cheers,
Dave
