BumbleBeeTrembling

I found this Bumble bee on our decking, basically just sat there trembling, from which it never seemed to recover. Was it just exhausted, overcome with parasites, or at the natural end of a long life? I shall never know.

  1. That’s an exhausted bee. Mix a little sugar and water, and place a little (we’re talking half-teaspoons here!) in front of its proboscis, and watch it drink. Then, after a few minutes, it should fly again, and you will be satisfied to think you saved a life…..

  2. I’ve read that bees also shiver when cold! And they find it tough to fly when cold. Now humans can get more cold when they’re hungry. Wonder if that’s true for bees too?
