Old Speckled Hen Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Is anybody watching this? Yesterday there was a piece on reviving bumblebees. If you find a cold moribund bee you should give it a little honey or sugar water. It works I found this guy "dead" on the conservatory floor this morning but a little honey and hey presto he was awake drinking it through his little proboscis. He filled himself up and flew away.

Faye&Ant Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Great picture. Thats made me think again when I see 'dead' bee's and just sweep them away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Palmer Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 We often do this when we find them in the garden and it usually works. My husband is bee-obsessed - he photographs them at every opportunity - so he's a very keen bee-spotter and helper-outer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Wow brilliant photo you should email it to the BBC springwatch people. Bit scared of bees and the kids not keen. Last year we were picnic-ing in a park and my 4 year old son got stung, he screamed and shouted "its got its little claws in me", we were all laughing as he was screaming and crying.

sadietoo Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I heard that tip and wondered if it would work....glad to know it will..we have far too many exhausted bees trying to find their way out of our conservatory for my liking so I'm pleased I might be able to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
