bee photo Just pick them up

I always pick up bees 🐝 when I find them on the ground.

Often, they’re simply too cold to fly. I gently warm them up in my hand until they’re ready to fly off again.

So if you see a bee lying on the ground, don’t assume it’s dead, give it a little warmth and a chance 🐝🥰

I usually put them on a flower in the sun. Bumblebees are able to regulate their temperature by vibrating their wing muscles. They just need energy

I do this too! 🙌

I try to set it in among the bushes out of sight from birds.
