I had lots more photos than this so it took a long time to go through them I got more on my phone than my I pad but I ended up having to use my phone more than my I pad for taking photos eventually
This Bumblebee visited our table at Highfield last year and had a drink from the table

In reply to Peewit:
We didn’t put anything out cause we didn’t know a Bumblebee would land on the table. It flew around us and checked me and Mum and Dad out then landed on the table and started drinking so there must of been something on the table. Unlike wasps Bumblebees prefer Pollen and nector not sugary substances from food and other things so they would choose pollen and nector over sugary foods and drinks. they arnt interested in peoples sugary food and drinks there only interested in drinking sugar and water when there run down and exhausted so it could be that it was tired and exhausted and someone had spilt sugar and water on the table or something very similar to sugary soloution so picked up on it and it could of been from other visitors
I help Bumblebees out when I see one thats tired or run down
both out and about and in the garden I also help honey bees and wasps and Ants if I find one that’s tired and exhausted aswell not just Bumblebees But with Bumblebees when they crawl onto your hand or onto a leaf on your hand when there tired and exsusted if you have just had some honey but havnt got all of it off when you think you have they will drink from hand literally. On occasions where thats happened iv had to Go back and wash it off since it’s unhealthy for Bumblebees and can make them ill. Wasps and Ants will be attracted to you and try and drink from you too so if you think you got everything off and you havnt you will find out eventually some species of Wildlife will pick up on it and tell you
I couldn’t forget this one
