Rescue a Weary Bee — Fan Of… #121

Β·

Hi All πŸ‘‹ Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how-to).

This week’s Fan Of… is rescued a weary bee.

Whilst out in the garden collecting in the washing, my wife & I noticed a bee on the ground barely moving. We had read about people giving bees a mixture of sugar & water to perk them up, so I decided to give it a go. I made a small amount of sugary water & poured it onto the ground right next to the bee.

Weary bee

It shuffled its way across to the liquid & started drinking.

After a short while, it wandered around on the ground examining the fallen petals from the hebe above, before heading back to the sugary solution.

It had another quick drink & then took off & disappeared into the hedgeSo the sugar & water mix really does work & revitalises tired bees to fly another day

    Yay! It was so great to see it going from close to death to then flying off on its wee bee business. Amazing photos, Sweetie.

    Well done, Jez! .- I have a bee on offer, too, although I think I was bit irreverent, I think: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2021/08/02/im-a-fan-of-bees-rolled-in-flour/

        My husband is always rescuing small insects! He hovers around spider webs in the house and scoops up wasps from the pool.

Great to hear your thoughts!
