For insects, I believe that many people do not like it so much, even if they are so small, but the unpleasant shape is not favored by most people. However, an unexpected friendship developed between a lady from Scotland and a bumblebee, which will somewhat make some waves in people's understanding of insects.
In the spring of last year, Fiona Presly was busy in her home yard in Scotland, hoping to plant more flowers and plants in her yard in time for the early spring season. Yet one inadvertently looked down, and she saw a bumblebee at her feet.
Unlike the average person who raises his foot in panic, Fiona kindly picks up the bumblebee and places it on a flower, hoping it will fly away as soon as possible.
However, the bumblebee remained motionless. Fiona curiously zoomed in to find that the bumblebee seemed to have no wings. As the weather quickly turned colder, Fiona brought the bumblebee back into the house.
Fiona recalls: "Seeing that it looked listless, I got it some sugar water, and I had planned to put it outdoors the next day, but who would have thought that the weather would be worse the next day, so I met this bumblebee by accident and lived more unexpectedly for two days." ”
Fiona learned from the Wasp Conservation Foundation that the bumblebee wasp was a queen bee and was likely suffering from a disease that caused its wings to not grow, and it would be difficult to survive alone in the wild if in this condition.
So Fiona carved out a small garden for the bumblebee in her garden. "I prepared a lot of flowers, and I also set up a hive, and I covered this small garden with a mesh to let this bumblebee live freely inside."
As the days passed, Fiona gave the bumblebee a simple name, Bee. Every day, Fiona visits it in the garden, feeds it sugar water, and when the weather is bad, simply brings it into the house.
To Fiona's surprise, after a while together, Bumblebee Bee seemed to understand her life-saving grace and would take the initiative to "greet" Fiona every time.
"It really surprised me, I watched Bee actively run out of the flowers and climb onto my hand, I felt its joy, something I had never imagined."
Fiona recounts: "You can tell that Bumblebee Really likes to be close to me. I can't explain why, except that maybe they're social insects by nature, and communication is their nature. ”
An extraordinary friendship between Fiona and Bumblebee Bee is, "We got along well and happily. I finally understood that even if we span different species, we can produce beautiful things. Many of my friends and family are aware of this kind of long-lasting friendship between us. ”
Usually, a bumblebee has a very limited lifespan, a bumblebee queen begins to nest, mate, and reproduce in the spring, and when autumn comes, their life will come to an end, but bumblebee Bee ends up living for 5 months under the careful care of Fiona, "although neither of us wanted to, it eventually left me, it lay quietly in the palm of my hand, leaving me forever." ”
Fiona buried the dead bumblebee Bee in her yard with a flower, "It's finally back to where I first found it, but the past 5 months in between have been so beautiful." After all this, I have a new understanding of insects, they are so cute. ”
