Found this poor bee sad and dejected on the patio this morning , tis like mid-winter here, freezing and torrential rain. So got it onto a spoon with sugar and water and look at it go ! Recovered and off it's buzzed

    Well done! I did the same the other day, a bee had got stuck in my greenhouse even though the door was open, moved it from flower to flower until he had had enough and off he flew! The cat was disappointed as he was going to eat it! image

    I am so worried about bees getting stuck in my greenhouse that I have bought one of those magnetic closing flyscreens, I do not need anything in there pollinating.

    Well done! I always try to do the same if they are looking a little out of energy, also anything I buy from now on will be bee friendly.
