On many occasions, as a ‘bumblebee rescuer’ (perhaps ‘Bumblebee Whisperer’?) many have been given another chance to complete their life’s mission; to gather pollen and deliver it to the appropriate hive.
Imagine another insect behaving in this amazing manner? To this creature, a human would appear in size as the Empire State Skyscraper offering a friendly lift to the top floor, in this case, a flower. Bumblebees do seem to have their own individual character. On being approached to be rescued, a raised leg may indicate caution, or of course in fantasy, a wave of welcome.
The next time you see one of these wonderfully pleasant bumblebees, don’t hesitate. Lend a helping hand. So rewarding. Especially when seeing them flying off a bloom, waving a gentle ‘goodbye’ to the Bumblebee Whisperer. Perhaps a hint that its experience would be described to its fellow bumblebees and naturally the Queen Bumblebee.
