Bringing home a baby Bumblebee...


I found this bumblebee on my kitchen floor... How did it get there? Good question! When I found it I could tell it wasn't right, so I put a glass jar over it, and packed it outside so I could do what....? Of course, you know me take a picture of it.

I originally thought that if I took it outside, and put it on a flower, it would feel better. But as I watched it I felt so bad for it, I knew it was dying. The amazing thing to me though, was that as I watched it, it was still working. Trying to get the nectar out of the flowers, even though it could barely hang onto the flower. It really made an impression on me. Even one of God's littlest creations knows that it can do something good, and use full even when it doesn't have much left to give. I definately have a lot more to give, and need to do better.

Oh Kristi, you do, do so good!
That was a beautiful picture and I'm glad you had a tender enough heart not to just squish it when you found it!

I Love this!! The picture is beautiful, of course. That poor creature would have been toast on my kitchen floor, what a tender thing you did, and to relate it to being more giving? Thats just too awesome, It made me see that poor bee in a whole new light. I love it. Thanks for sharing.
