A feel good story

18 November 2014 by Kim 2 Comments

Drenched BeeOn Sunday morning I took out my camera to go and photograph some dew and rain drops left after the rain on Saturday night.  I came across a little bee lying in a daisy flower.  Shame, it was drenched and frozen stiff.  It really broke my heart seeing this little creature so wet and cold.  I photographed it for a bit because of the drops of water on its wings and body.  I felt that if it dried up and warmed up, it might survive to fly for another day.  Went inside, grabbed a match box, drop of honey on toothpick and placed one frozen drenched bee into box, and placed box into a pocket in my tracksuit pants.  I carried on with my photographs and became aware of some buzzing in my pocket.  One little bee had been revived on warmth, honey and drying out.  Open box and bee buzzed off into the sky.  What an awesome and happy way to start the day.  I believe that everything should be given a chance to live whether bee, bug, animal or any other sort of creature.
