Poorly Bee

Well, following my poor attempt at capturing a bee in flight yesterday I went out into the garden again this morning to have another go. Rather than chase them around the garden I settled myself down against the garden fence and waited next to one of the flowers I noticed to be a popular place for them to feed. It was then I heard this buzzing sound.

It was this injured bee, crawling very slowly along the top of the fence towards me. Now, I've no knowledge of a bees anatomy, but it has obviously been injured. It would appear that two limbs have been severed on this side and sadly he appeared very weak. I fear he would not live much longer so placed him in what I thought was a protected area of the garden.

Did I capture any in flight I hear you ask? No! Shortly after taking this it started to rain heavily (typical weather on my day off) so I retreated indoors. I'll leave that for another day.
