A little adventure
Kneeling and wielding my trowel this afternoon, I felt something tickling my leg. Resisting the instinct to give it a slap, I stood up carefully and gently shook the leg of my jeans. Out fell a bumble bee - a lucky escape for us both! I'm happy to say we parted as friends. Now I'm wondering what it mistook me for.

with wet bees I fish out of the pond I use a bit of tissue paper to blot them dry. You only have to gently touch the bee and all the water is sucked right off them. Amazing to watch. Then put them in the sun (if we ever have any) and they'll warm back up in no time.
