I was walking home from the railway station a couple of nights ago and it was raining. When I got home and turned a light on I noticed something moving on the carpet. Upon closer inspection it was a very, wet bumble bee that was going nowhere fast. I hunted for a wee box and found one with a halogen mini spot light - perfect size, so took the halogen bulb out. Using one of the light supermarket carry bags I cut a piece of it off and wrapped it around the box leaving an extended area to use like a porch and sticky taped it on so it was secure on the sides. I carefully placed the poor bedraggled bumble bee into the dry cardboard box and placed it facing away from the weather in a planter trough. By next morning, the sun was out and the bumble bee had gone. So hopefully, it had dried over night and flown away.
