It was buzzing away at the closed window so I picked it up - or rather, I let it crawl onto my finger - and carried it to the open door.
Bees are tickly.
I resisted the temptation to stroke its furry little bumblebehind.

They are remarkably affable if you don't threaten them.

It all sounds very cute. I remember as a child I used to love some kids show which had a big bumble bee as one of the sidekicks? Anyway, I had a big fluffy toy one which was probably 100 times the size of a normal bumble bee.

I carried a hedgehog across the road once. But I think I would have used a glass for a bee. Even a bumbler.

You don't know how cute the experience is until you've tried!

Also - how did you know the hedgehog wanted to cross the road? You might have just really annoyed it.

I have had lessons from my daughter. She is going to be a lawyer one day. Or a politician.

Bumblebees are rather sweet. But I'd never go near a wasp with a helping hand.

Bumblebees are rather sweet. But I'd never go near a wasp with a helping hand. Wasps don't mind being handled if you don't threaten them. The way to catch a wasp is to cusp your hands together, leaving a space inside. They tend to buzz around inside, which tickles a little, but they don't do you any harm.

Bees don't do themselves any favours by dressing like wasps!
