As most people know, Bumblebees are having a bit of a hard time here in the UK, so when I found this big one walking around on our patio, very lethargic and not able to fly, I thought I give it a bit of a helping hand.
I offered it a drop of honey on the end of a stick and it spent a good five minutes lapping it up.
You could actually see that after a few minutes it started to gain some strength
Shortly after it took off (a bit unsteady from the sugar rush) and headed straight for the cherry blossom on a nearby tree and started to feed and collect pollen.
Hopefully it is going to find a place to settle and produce loads more of these gorgeous creatures.
