The other day while swimming, I was watching the little bit of flotsam on the pool water. There was a small bumble bee which was kicking for dear life.
I gently touched the little bee with my finger coming from underneath him, and he immediately took to flight.
He buzzed around my head and my swimming gear for a couple of seconds, then he was off again.
As I lay on the lounger at the pool a few minutes later, I believe, the same bee landed on my knee.
He turned to look at me, and I felt he was saying ‘thank you’ for helping him from drowning on a fine summer day.
