r/BumbleBee

I opened my back door and a bumblebee flew in just now, it was flying around the light and then it just disappeared, I just found it on the back side of the curtain, what do I do? I'm up all night anyway but do I just leave it until daylight or do I put it somewhere dark in a box? Do I try and give it sugar water?

I found her 3 weeks and 5 days ago at work with a broken wing.

She got to spend 3 weeks and 5 days with fresh picked flowers and sugar water daily, safe from predators or getting squished. She got field trips outdoors and put her stamp of approval on the new flowers I got to support our local bumbles.

The past few days I've noticed her slowing down. She couldn't take field trips anymore because she struggled to hang onto my skin, it was like her ticklish little feet weren't as grippy as they used to be. She started falling unexpectedly just when I thought we were good to go.

I found her nestled into the dried out flowers from the yard, in between her two potted African violets. I always left the dried out flowers and kept adding new, she liked to climb around and use them to get up and down and preferred to rest there instead of in the violets.

Rest in peace, Polly. I hope you got your wings back.
