Saving bees

Unless it's the same bee who has concussion from flying into my living room window, that keeps coming through the back door. I have saved at least 6 bees today.

Anyone else have bees flying straight through the house and getting stuck?

Just a lone angry wasp for us today

Finally got it out a window with the small hope that maybe it will rethink its life choices but I doubt it.

I do. The wall bees bore in my south facing exterior wall every year. Some get dozy and come inside. I leave the window open and they find their way out and help the ones that are left out at the end of the day.

Yes i just rescued one in my room about half hour ago when I got home .

My window is literally wide open so how the fuck it didn't fly back out I don't know.

It was the size of a small village and he's back outside now

I don't like it when I see people trying to kill them. I my experience they won't bother you really.

They may come for a nose, especially depending on which perfume I'm wearing but they soon head off.

No bees just a few bluebottles buzzing around and bashing against the window. I dislike them but would never harm one.

There seem to be fewer bees here this year. Which is worrying.

I rescued one the other day that had got caught in a web. I even took the web bits off with my bare hands!

I love Bees...our land needs them for pollination so every one should if they can have a area small or large full of Bee friendly flowers...they won't sting you unless your prodding it. You can but Bee homes for them to live and are a good thing for the Masonry Bees that build a nest in your brick work...Let's hear it for the Gorgeous bumblebee

The government is thinking about making it legal to start up the use of certain pesticides that kill off our Bees...these pesticides have been banned for years!! Lets save our Bees...

"The government is thinking about making it legal to start up the use of certain pesticides that kill off our Bees...these pesticides have been banned for years!! Lets save our Bees... "

These pesticides are called neonicotinoids, and they grossly interfere with the bees' sense of direction resulting in a worldwide industrialised facing phenomenon called CCD: Colony Collapse Disorder.

The contents of beehives, Apis Mellifera bees, just disappear overnight.

The Varroa mite is also having a devastating effect.

The greatest future threat is the enormous and inherently aggressive invasive species, the Asian Hornet, that is 2.5cm in length.

Rare examples have been found in Ireland, and more frequently in GB, having arrived from France.

No bees need saving indoors, they are all in the garden feasting on the flowers

They aren't, theyre working on sustainable substitutes.i read a interesting article in farmers weekly, majority of the farmers oppose the use of nico, but theres also around 40 other pesticides that are deadly to bees that are used all year round on crops.

Not to be confused with European Hornets which are highly endangered, in fact I think it's a 50k Euro fine in Germany for killing them

A couple of years back a queen bee must have entered my mums house but the others were killing themselves as they couldn't work out where she was or find the way out. Literally hundreds of them outside and in

I live on the top floor of a block of flats, when they do come in, they invariably find their own way back out after about 10 minutes of discovering that they can't claw their way through solid glass. They sometimes need a little pointer in the right direction

I had a massive bumble bee in my living room the other week, it was slowly manoeuvring about the place like a Chinook helicopter. I managed to direct it safely to the window and freedom.

I like Bees, wasps on the other hand can just sod off.

If a bee is walking looking tired then give it some honey or sugar water and watch them lap it up. When they get there energy back they will fly off helpt out a few this year

We have masonry bees that live in the external roof vents outside my bedroom window, and in the summer when the window is open they often find their way indoors.

Used to catch them with a glass and a bit of card but it was time-consuming and I worried I'd trap a leg or a wing.

Now I just let them climb onto my hand then stick my hand out of the window and they pootle off quite happily.

That's how I catch them.

I may try putting my hand out...watch this space

Anyone coming through your back door is a bit eye watering, I would think?

In all seriousness. Would always help a bee. But those mother fucker wasps, are a whole different ball game.

I look like someone with Parkinson's and who's been imbibing too much, when I catch sight of one.

I've a family of masonry bees in my blocked up chimney. Can't get to them and they are obviously thriving but I end up saving 2/3 daily through the summer.
