I make no apologies for repeating this message 🐝 If you see a bee of any description on the floor or not flying around other than on flowering plants, it is STARVING! You can help. We are currently in the ‘June Gap’ – the time between when spring flowering plants stop and autumn flowers start producing pollen and nectar. You can help by mixing two parts sugar to one part water and offering the syrup to the bee. She (and they are mostly females) will happily drink from a teaspoon. You will see her little black tongue as she drinks. It will take her about 10 minutes to convert the syrup into energy, but she will fly if you help her in time. The feeling you get when you see her recover and fly is well worth your time. PLEASE NOTE – This is a temporary measure and ‘First Aid’ only. Bees need variety in their diet and need to pollinate plants in their search for food. I am not suggesting we feed sugar to Bees as a matter of course. NO HONEY PLEASE – Disease can easily spread from colony to colony through this practice and you will do more harm than good. White sugar and water please x They can't thank you so I will on their behalf. Thank you a million xx 🐝🐝🐝🐝 Words are like bees!!! some create honey and others leave a sting . . . .
