Injured bee

[ginandnappies]

We just found a bee in our child's paddling pool. It's pretty large and we took it out and laid it on the grass. Turns out one of its wings has broken off, is there anything we can do? Breaks my heart watching it crawl around trying to fly :(

DP would put in beside flowers to get nectar and let it die in it's own time. I would sadly have to put it out its musery and crush it quickly. Nothing can make it fly again. Poor bumbly.

Awwww that's what I was afraid of. Thanks x

Unfortunately there's not much you can do. Place it in some flowers so it will be less stressed and able to enjoy its natural environment for however long it lives for:

Id kill it to put it out of its misery. It's either going to starve/dehydrate to death, or get eaten by something.
