At ten minutes to four this morning, while I was enjoying a dream, I felt something irked my head. Naturally, I reached up and removed said item. Then my head began to irk somewhat. A sharp pain radiated from next to my eye, I felt a slight bump, switched on the light, and found a large Bumble Bee crawling hesitatingly across the floor.
It's four in the morning!
I found a slight spot near my eye, slightly swelling, rubbed ice on it for a minute and went back to bed, the dying Bee now stuttering along the floor next to the cupboards. Nothing to do now, so back to sleep which eventually returned.
Why is it, that if you awake around three or four in the morning it takes an hour and a half to get back to sleep? Why not just return to repose?
Very annoying.
Tonight, having searched for the beast I found him on the bed, near the window. I placed him on the window ledge, left sugared water near him, watched him drink and have left him to it. Whether he can make it I know not, but as he is still under the window that soon I must close he is certainly going to have to move again, and not indoors.
I looked up Bumble Bees in an effort to learn more and now I am confused. There are so many and I do not know which one this is! There are so many that even the experts require DNA to be sure about some of them.
I do know that because of the increase in pesticide use, and this government has allowed such things to continue, Bees, without which we cannot survive, are threatened. Doesn't it make you wonder why we vote for such people?
