Fill Yer Boots!
A new and very satisfying experience for me today!
Firstly, I am terrified of anything with more than 4 legs.
I can just about cope with butterflies but anything else freaks me out.
I came home this afternoon to find a large and obviously exhausted bee on the conservatory floor.
I remembered reading something online about what to do with these bees so quickly Googled the page again and made the recommended sugar solution (NEVER feed bees honey!!)...
At first Mr Bumble was none too interested in my efforts and then suddenly he began to drink!
It was amazing.
I got down on the floor opposite him and watched (through the camera lens!) the sugary solution pass up the long tongue/proboscis and slowly the bee began to become a bit livelier.
I carefully carried the mat he was on outside into the sun.
Within minutes he was moving around and when I popped back outside after 10 minutes he was gone!
Good deed done for the day and perhaps a wee edge off my fear...
