Bee.

[rhythmaning]

You know "feed a "dead" bumble bee" thing a few weeks ago?

Well, this morning meeting behind some shaded (indoor) plant pots, I saw a moribund, motionless bee. Its leg-pouches were full of pollen.

I fetched a teaspoon and filled it with water and a pinch of sugar, and placed it beside the bee.

It immediately stuck its proboscis into the water and drank for many minutes, become quite mobile.

Before it started flying, I manoeuvred it out of the open window, into the sunshine. It hesitated and flew off.

I was awfully pleased. And watching it drink with its proboscis was rather cute!
