Last week there was what appeared to be an injured bumblebee.
I say ‘appeared’ because I am not a bee doctor and have no idea how to actually tell that a bee is injured, except that it seemed sluggish and couldn’t really fly.
Day 1
He was on the floor of our porch and tiny ants were attacking him. I picked him up and moved him to a plant. Another clue that he was out if it was how easily I moved him.
Day 2
I just took some photos assuming he would get out and fly away soon.
Day 3
I decided to do my best to help the bee get better. My logic being that perhaps he was just out of it from lack of food.
I filled a bottle cap with honey and another with water. He went after the honey like bee to.. ehhh…. ummm.
Day 4
He was flying around like crazy on the porch, but couldn’t seem to get outside.
I caught him in a can and let him go outside.
He flew away.
So is ‘bumblebee rehab’ now a hobby of mine?
