Today I noticed an almost drowning Queen Bumblebee in the pond.
He was trying to hold on to a floating leaf in the water.
I quickly grabbed a little branch/stick to drag him out of the water.
I saw his little hairy body panting/gasping for air.
I waited a while to see what he would do. he started walking a bit along the edge of the water, which seemed to me not safe.
I gave him the stick to hold on. I could feel through the stick the anxious buzzing vibrations as he was in panique. I quickly set him and the stick safely on the edge of a flowerpot. there he was gasping and panting again. I could see his body going up and down.
A while later after the shock, he took his wings.
