The Little Bee update

I woke up this morning to this message from my husband. While I was zonked out sleeping, he was trying to save a bee.

This right here is how I know I married the right guy…

Alex said when he found the bee, it was on his deck on its back. He thought it was dead so he gently touched its little furry leg. It moved!

So he gently “petted” it. I was like-you petted a bee?

He said- yeah, because he wanted the bee to know he wasn’t going to hurt him.

So then when the bee seemed to wake up a little, Alex got that leaf and it grabbed onto it and he moved it up onto the banister.

Alex brought out the bottle and squirted a little sugar water in front of it and it dipped its little leg in and put it to its mouth.

He checked on it throughout the morning and it was just sitting there. He kept giving it more to drink but then it stopped drinking.

He was thinking maybe it was too late but he tried, right?

Then a little bit later it up and flew away!!!!

Life saved. Of all Alex’s big accomplishments, I think I’m honestly most proud of this.
