A Bombus terrestris queen I found crawling on the ground in a park in Cardiff today. After warming her on my hand I put her inside a crocus flower, in the hope that a drink of nectar would help her get moving again.

Good deed for the day: this is a Bombus terrestris queen which I rescued, wet and cold, from the garden after heavy rain. I put her in a straw-lined box and let her dry out and warm up in the kitchen before taking her outside. This was the last image I captured as she was vibrating her wings to warm them, before lifting off and flying away.
