reviving bumble bee

this poor little bumble was worn out and could hardly move, so remembering something i learned here on GOY to give them honey, so quickly got some and could see him taking in the honey

well i got offered a job apprentice hairdresser and took it, always like doing hair and then you were told by your dad to just get a job as soon as you left school, ive enjoyed my work, but i love animals, didnt take any exams either at school as i hated it, maybe in the next life deida,

Ahh well saved Sandra , I gave one some sugar to revive it and watched it eat it ... it makes you feel good to help them dosn,t it ... :o)

oh yes amy it was lovely seeing the little tongue sucking it up, not called a tongue but you know what i mean :o)

18 Aug, 2009

 

ah bless Sandra - the bees around here do not need reviving they are the ones chasing us around with rolled up newspapers LOL

18 Aug, 2009

 

lol angie, i dont mind helping bees they dont bother us but if it was a wasp i would just shout"die you nasty swine" lol

I love the bees too Sandra - I have a friend in Scotland who is a beekeeper now I wouldn't love them that much :-)

18 Aug, 2009

 

my uncle has them, last time i visited they got me dressed up in the bee keeper gear and i helped check them, thought i would panic with them flying around me but i loved every min, great experience really

Glad you enjoyed it Sandra - but it's not my cuppa tea - i'd sooner get in a pit of snakes ok maybe not - however I like spiders ( that was a real random comment !!)

18 Aug, 2009

 

oh no not spiders, i run a mile if one in the house, creepy lol

What a great idea. Will remember that. Only Bee's though as there fab. Wasps can die for all i care. 2 things in life i hate & wasps are BOTH of them! Bloody things

it worked steve but since this ive read not honey as all honey different and can mix there collection up, so sugery water is a good thing to, hate wasps make me run a mile lol

Oh right, i'll remember that then. Yes wasp in the room and i'm gone. The scary thought is if Mia was to be attcked by one or a swarm, would i panic or would i dive in there? I'd like to think & hope the latter but my fear & phobia of them is so great. Scares me as would do anything for her.

i think even with our phobias we would just think of of kids, its amazing what we forget when our kids need us steve.

26 Apr, 2010

 

Yes i think your right. Did you get my email?
