Many people are afraid of bees and would rather squish one than leave it alone. While people often conflate honey bees, bumblebees, yellowjackets, and other similar insects, they all have distinct tendencies and behaviors. For example, yellowjackets, which look like bees but are a type of wasp, are aggressive and likely to sting people. However, bumblebees are quite calm and unlikely to sting people.
When Fiona Presly saw a wingless bumblebee in her garden, she gave her some sugar water and put her on a heather plant, expecting her to be gone when Fiona returned from work. However, when Fiona got home, the bumblebee was still there! Fiona didn’t want to leave the poor bee outside during the bad weather, so she brought her inside and started figuring out what to do. She observed other bees outside and made an indoor sanctuary for her new friend with items that she thought her bee would like.
While insects aren’t usually the cuddly pets that we imagine feeling affection for, Fiona grew attached to her little wingless bee. It’s beautiful to see kindness extended towards such a little creature that would usually be overlooked. It’s a wonderful reminder of how important it is to treat every living being with care and respect.

A commenter via google said that male bumble bees have their wings bitten off by the females & then they are thrown out of the nest once they have ‘sired’ the Queen bee – don’t know if this is true, but I guess this explains this poor old male bee trying to figure out what to do to survive….he managed it because of this lady, but then he had to go back to his maker !
