This is actually a cute little story that might put a smile on your face. A Canadian woman found a wingless bumble bee while walking to the store one day. She took it home with her and let it live out the rest of its days in her house.

It's funny how we as humans can make anything into a pet.

Canada? That's why they can't win hockey games anymore.

Canadians over here playing grabass with bugs instead of putting in that work on the ice. No wonder they got that arse whipped.

This is exactly why the 19th should be repealed.

I know it's kind of fruity but when I see dying honeybees, when it's clear they're pretty much done for, I'll drop some water on the ground near them. Sometimes they drink, sometimes not. I'll also place them in cooler spots in the yard.

I feel like since they did me such a solid, I don't mind helping them out. Bees are pretty important to human kind.

All of that Canadian bee's buzzes went to that hockey puck that buzzed on by the goalie.

European Honeybees just have a much better PR team than our native bees.

That bee is a microcosm for Canada's hockey team.

Edit: Finding a woman that will care for a man for 12 days is hard these days

I can leave my house and walk down the sidewalk past 6 neighbor's houses and count 4-5 dead/dying bees. I usually carefully pick them up and put them in the grass. I have to move them because the dogs have a tendency to step on them and get stung.
Bummer our pesticides or whatever are killing them at an alarming rate.

If she likes tiny, hairy things in her hand then I've got something to show her.

It’s interesting to me that the same people who would applaud this effort I assume would support human euthanasia or abortion.
