I can count on one hand the amount of butterflies I have seen in the last month, I went out in the lovely sunshine today and did not see one bee and just a couple of hoverflies. Could anyone tell me the prognosis for next year. I live in the north where we have had such bad weather in the last few months. I have even considered taking the covering of my brassica to attract more cabbage whites. I have given up on these as the slugs have eaten the hearts of most of them.
