While vacuuming the livingroom, I found a honeybee crawling around. Apparently, she slipped in through the front door earlier when taking out the trash. I know honeybees love to be picked up, so I brought her out to the honey feeder. But she didn't want to let go as it was dark and all her sisters weren't there. If I knew where her hive was, I'd take her over and drop her off. Could be anywhere in these woods. I was sad to leave her all alone for the night. The sun will be up tomorrow and her sisters will join her. 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

@dianea bees like to be picked up? 🤨
Our fingers have body heat and may be pleasant smelling to the honeybees. Or honeybees are very social. Or both. They appear even more sociable than ladybugs, which there are many, because they like the honey feeder too!
As long as I don't make any rude moves, they are good. If there's a threat to their home, they are pretty good at communicating that too. The wasps are the same way. They get protective around their babies and can be very upset by very close rapid movement near their homes.
