    Love the video ... although you shouldn't give them honey (an old wives tale), a simple sugar and water mix usually does the job. Please add this to the video so that others will know next time. Great job helping a bee though :)

      Thumbed up for accuracy. A lot of times if it's in hot weather, the bees are just dehydrated.

      The honey seemed to work pretty well.

    • @Altairw
      @Altairw 7 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      if it was dehydrated he would have died because honey don't contain water so it's better to give them 50/50 sugar + warm water so they can both drink and get energy back.

      +Dankanaught Shake your head all you want. So your telling me every single plant a bee will pollinate produces honey? Bee's climb into flowers to drink the NECTAR (not honey). Nectar and Honey are not the same thing 😂 Please do some research.

      @laustudie 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      +StrawberryGates So what have you been doing all day? "Not much filming a bumblebee for 2 hours."Glad you saved him though, near my neighborhood i always pick them up when they are on the road, so they do not get crushed by cars and bicycles. You really do not have to use a glass with bees and bumblebees, they are very gentle creatures. Just put your finger near them and they will just crawl on your hand and sit there peacefully. Sadly most people confuse bees and bumblebees with wasps and think they are agressive :(

    • @splatproductions99
      @splatproductions99 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +Geen naam Aye. I know. I actually have a phobia of wasps and hornets [spheksophobia] yet love bees. I find that they are both cute and serene. I have no fear of being around them because of how non-aggressive they are [one sting means death, so they're pretty coy about using it].
      Unfortunately, people associate bees with wasps and hornets, as you stated. My friends and family always ask why I'm petrified of bees to which I promptly correct them in their inaccurate statement, replying that it's wasps and hornets that I fear, for they will sting you for no reasons [they don't die from a sting, hence the aggressiveness]. I love bees, though.

    • @Weirdisjustabrownandyellowword
      @Weirdisjustabrownandyellowword 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Jerry appears to be a worker bee, so if Jerry is a man, he's a transgender bee lol

    • @Weirdisjustabrownandyellowword
      @Weirdisjustabrownandyellowword ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @Z e Worker bees are the female bees who don't get the chance to become the queen of their colony, so they have to work for her instead. There's only one queen at a time. She develops differently to the worker bees because she's allowed to eat more. Drone bees are males, and they impregnate the queens of other colonies and don't have to do any other work.
      This is called a eusocial structure, and is seen in some bee species, some wasp species and some ant species. Not all of them though. Bumblebees are eusocial, as are honeybees.
      Jerry appears to be a worker bee, but whatever they are, they're one of the many bumblebee species that's really hard to tell apart, so there's a small chance they're a drone. It's more common to see a worker bee than a drone bee outside though.

    • @Weirdisjustabrownandyellowword
      @Weirdisjustabrownandyellowword 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for saving its life, BUT too many people don't know that giving bees honey or even sugar water isn't the healthiest thing for them. It's ok to give bumblebees white sugar dissolved in water as a last resort if they're starving, but flowers contain nectar and pollen that all bees need for a healthy diet, and putting a bee on a flower where it can find nectar should be enough to give it all the energy it needs. Honey isn't good for bumblebees, but you still probably saved its life.

    Great vid! I only recently found out (at age 62) that we can often easily save bumble bees in a building car etc that are no longer flying but still able to move. I put them on a flowering plant and within a few minutes they are usually re-energised. Watching them recover and fly off is such a good feeling! I used to think bees like that were gonners.

    Awww... I used to try and save bees when I was younger because I lived in a place where there were a lot of wild flowers and they often ended up exhausted on my window or somewhere outside. They usually rested, drank some water with sugar and went their way. Sometimes they just rested and went flying without the sugar though because I didn't know they'd eat that at first.

    I've been watching a bee for the last few hours that I noticed first when 2 other bees tried to pick it up and carry it away from my walkway without success. The other bees then stopped trying to carry it and stood around it for a half hour and then flew away. The poor thing crawled so slowly into a corner and I put flower petals around it to make it comfortable. I just watched your video and just gave it a drop of pure honey and it is eating now! I hope the poor thing survives or at least is comfortable if maybe it is sick or lost its stinger! ❤🐝

    Thank you for saving Jerry's life and for sharing this on TH-cam. Now I'll know what to do if or when I see a bee in distress. We humans must do what we can to help save the other species on earth. Don't think I believe veganism is the only ethical way to live. On the contrary. But when we have the opportunity to save a life I believe we SHOULD do so rather than just killing bees. I've been getting into gardening over the past few years and have started rethinking my position on killing wasps, too. Actually, wasps are beneficial in that they eat other insects that are not beneficial. Everything in nature has its place and purpose.

    My wife gets annoyed with me because I don't kill insects and spiders; I just capture them with a tissue and put them outside. I don't know if they survive, but if something kills them, it won't be me.

    Nice video! Today I was walking home from school and noticed a honey bee laying on the sidewalk. So I took it home with me. I got out a good sized container and made it a home. I named it Pumpkin, because it's almost Halloween. Anyways, I sliced a sliver of a grape and put it in Pumpkin's container. And let me tell you, he loved that grape! xD

    Very good I just found a big Bumble Bee in the ground I think it is to cold for it to be out so took it home and put it in a large glass dish with a lid I put some paper towel in the bottom so that it could walk without slipping that is what people forget.
    I then gave it some sugar water and I got some flowers from the garden that I now bees like it seems to be doing ok I will let it go if or when the sun comes out and works it up a bit as they do not like the cold.

    TY for posting this, it educates ppl on how they can try to help bees. It allso shows how a creature @ the top of the food chain should act toward one a little lower down in the hierarchy ( Bees occupy one of the most important slots in the food chain, w/out them lots of other species would perish ). More needs to be done for bees especially in our swiftly changing enviroment, your actions, even toward 1 bee,are to be applauded

    Sugar water is better for a bee. If the honey has any germs/ virus in it from another bee colony, the bee could potentially take this back and affect the bee colony he belongs too. But lovely to see someone who has a big heart and saved this bee's life.

    I saved a bee a couple days ago, he was a honey bee on the ground. I didnt have honey but i found out honey bees like orange jello. I also gave him some water too. Less than an hour he flew off and told his buddies about the orange jello. It was gone after four hours and it wasnt that big of a peice.

    • @broccoliphysics8209
      @broccoliphysics8209 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sugar water has no substantial difference in helping bees. If a bee is lethargic, it is already going to die. It may get an energy boost, but it will still die shortly after. You can give them it if you want, but a real difference in their population would be keeping "weed flowers" like dandelions (they get pollen from them), not using pesticides, keeping your area clean, and helping conservation organizations by donating or volunteering.
      Preserving the land itself will only help them. It is not that easy.

  • @Fatima502

    Today I found a listless bumblebee inside our greenhouse. It had obviously got trapped. I got it to climb onto the end of a thin metal strip and carried out to a nearby daffodil. It clambered on to that, then I used the strip to spill a few drops of water over him (her). I could see it reacting quickly and it moved nearer to the flower head and then, like Jerry, suddenly took off and few away high in the air. The whole process took about three minutes. How satisfying. For me and it.

  • @gavincannonbrooks

    This was very helpful, last summer I tried a few attempts to save some worn out bees (as I work in a warehouse so I see many of them) with sugar water but everytime I laid a drop in front of them they would go a different direction. I'll try with honey this time hopefully it will work as Summer is coming up.......Thank you

  • @sashawilliams6191
    @sashawilliams6191 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you don’t have any honey, sugared water is just as effective. If they look dead, it’s either that they are dead or, what usually happens is that they get cold and/ or hungry and zonk out. They need food and warmth to be able to fly.

    @Weirdisjustabrownandyellowword 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I haven't finished the video, but I've watched enough to know you gave a bumblebee honey. Thank you for saving its life, BUT please know for next time that you shouldn't feed a bumblebee honey. It needs nectar and pollen from a flower, and if no flowers are available, it's ok to give it white sugar dissolved in water as a last resort (although this can cause health problems if it's given it too often.) The best way to help bees is planting bee-friendly flowers and providing a source of fresh water if there isn't one nearby. Bumblebees often find themselves in precarious situations where they're starving and don't even have the energy anymore to keep trying to find flowers. There used to be more pollen and nectar to go around, but now the bees are starving.

    I rescued a bee, she was on the road injured.
    She couldn't even fly properly.
    So I put her on a lavender and brought her home.
    So I made her a little house and fed her honey.
    I named her Lavender because she LOVED lavender flowers.
    The next morning she regained energy and could fly again.
    So I let her out and she flew back to her hive.
    I am most proud about saving her from death :)

    If they have not got to many mites on them I tend to put them in a plastic container with a bit of sugar water and some flower heads from the garden and put a top on and leave them over night let them go in the morning and they are recovered and fly off.
