A Bombus terrestris queen I found crawling on the ground in a park in Cardiff today. After warming her on my hand I put her inside a crocus flower, in the hope that a drink of nectar would help her get moving again.

COOL SCIENCE. Apparently bees like to play with wooden balls. Why? Hmmm... I guess it's just how they roll.

Just found this little girl wet on the lawn. Just the wrong time of the year. She should be tucked up in a nest hibernating. 🥲Popped her on a sheltered calendula out of the rain and fingers crossed she refuels and makes back to a nest. Think she is a Queen Buff Tail but the wings are quite smoky so maybe a cuckoo? I’m not good enough to be sure. #britishbumblebees #bumblebee #entomology #BufftailedBumblebee #CuckooBumblebee.

Good deed for the day: this is a Bombus terrestris queen which I rescued, wet and cold, from the garden after heavy rain. I put her in a straw-lined box and let her dry out and warm up in the kitchen before taking her outside. This was the last image I captured as she was vibrating her wings to warm them, before lifting off and flying away.
