Hi Folks,
Thank you for approving me as a member.
I would like to ask you for some advice.
Last night as,I was washing up in the kitchen I spotted a honey bee (or what appears to be a honey bee to me, could be a leaf-cutting bee for all I know, we have them use a special bee house in our garden)
The poor soul flew up and was bashing her head against a light bulb, so I captured her in my spider catcher and popped her in a small plastic vivarium I have for my snake when I am cleaning his vivarium.
I put some manuka honey on some lining paper and cotton wool soaked with water, and placed it all in a dimly lit room to let her de-stress.
Today I put in a chrysanthemum flower and a bit of foliage (sprayed with water)
She flies and walks about in there a bit.
My question is, is it OK to let her out into the garden with the inclement weather we are having, or should I keep her in the vivarium for now ? If so, how should I properly care for her ?
Thank you for your advice.
Kind Regards
Nicola
