She refused to rest anywhere else, maybe it was my body warmth. She even twitched her legs and wings in her sleep, woke up a few times, walked around, just to fall back asleep somewhere else on my hand. After her rest I let her fly back out of my window.
Good for you. The bee population has been almost annihilated on a global scale over the past decade... in another 10 years you might look back on this and realize that was one of the last few times you saw a bee.
I had a dream last night that I was sitting outside and a bee was coming right for me. It landed under me and I squished it because I was afraid and I was almost certain it was gonna sting me
I picked up a bee back in secondary school (a good 8 years ago), before almost stepping on it and it almost crawled up under my jacket sleeve. recently I found another on the ground and got it on to a flower and it let me pet it.
Good for you and the bees, but you can rest assured I will give him some sugar water from as many feet away as possible and maybe whisper some encouragement from behind my window.
It's just a language problem. Because you call both of them 'bees". Bumblebees are HUGE. And honeybees are smol. In german they have totally different names.
Technically worker bumblebees can sting you, and repeatedly, unlike honey bees. They're just much less likely to do so if you aren't bothering with a hive. But yeah, they're huge, so it's pretty easy to tell them apart
Huh you're right. It's just that it almost never happens. Parents in Germany teach their kids that bumblebees don't sting. Which of course caused little mia to catch one by hand. She only bit me though.
I'm just not a fan of insects in general. Bees, butterflies, daddylonglegs, ants, wasps, houseflies, moths , mosquitos, none of them. If it's got more than 4 arms / legs, well then it's not for me.
I mean I know you're right but still
But yes, I'm always glad if I can help them :)
Also @lemmingoverlord you bet your ass I'm calling them Panzerbiene from now on
