Couple Falls In Love With Wingless Bumblebee | The Dodo
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Shay and Michael were on a walk when they saw a big bee just walking on the side of the road. On their way back they saw her again, so they picked her up and realized she didn't have any wings! They named her Ruby and took her home to make sure she would be safe while she got stronger. While there, she became best friends with their cat, Pyro!
Special thanks to Shay for sharing Ruby Tuesday's story with us! Keep up with Pyro on Instagram: thedo.do/phonopony.

That bee could've had a very short and difficult life, most likely alone and without the mobility to survive on her own. But you gave her the best life she could possibly have had. For you, it was a month of your time, for her it was her whole life by your side.

Bees, ants and other insects communicate by scent, sadly not by the involuntary sound their wings make. Luckily bumblebees from different hives seem not to care when they are on the same flowers but if you tried the same thing with an ant, the other ones would shred it to pieces.

I agree. Our dexterity can get many animals out of bad situations like having fallen in puts, getting stuck in fences, Sheep being stuck lying on their backs and deer getting stuck trying to cross frozen lakes. So many hopeless situations that people can get animals out of.
Awh, what a unique life experience. Not a lot of people get to say they've had a wingless bee as a pet, this story is amazing.

You want to hear something crazy? I rescued an ant one time. No joke. I found a single ant in my toilet. Just above the water, stuck and couldn't climb out of the slippery porcelain. I keep a clean house, so when I saw a small black object in my toilet bowl, I knew it had to be foreign. For some reason, I felt like I wanted to give the ant a chance to climb on and escape. And without hesitation, it literally jumped on my finger and crawled up. It didn't want to leave. I gently placed it on the ground and it didn't want to leave! I gently brushed it off and it hesitantly went about its way, but maybe I should have adopted it!
I never thought you could be this close to a bug, especially a bee! Ruby is such a sweetheart may she forever be dancing with flowers in the heavens!!

Fun fact: Insects and other arthropods absolutely have consciousness and self-awareness, albeit basic and vastly different from our own. Since it's brain and nervous system are so small signals are able to be sent and received much faster than humans can, essentially allowing this bee to perceive time in high fps slow motion. In other words, that single month meant a lifetime to that bee.

First of all, THANK YOU FOR SAVING THIS PRECIOUS BEE!!!! So much compassion which every animal deserves! I recently rescued a bumblebee this summer(our house is made of cedar and they love to carve holes in the wood for their homes which we don’t mind-afterall we are ruining the land which they need to live on) who was not quite an adult. She couldn’t fly as well because of perhaps a deformity as she had no wings? Will never know for certain why however I can tell you I sure did take care of her everyday-she had her flowers and sugar water. While I knew in my heart she wouldn’t live as long as she would in the wild with her wings I at least know she lived longer than she would had I not helped her. She was very lethargic and not doing well when I rescued her so when she became the same way 18 days later I knew it was her time to go. She passed peacefully in her little home right after I put her there. While I normally put them back in their home/hole, this one did not go back in so I didn’t force it as I didn’t want to chance her falling out for a second time. Love from my home to yours-Katie

I care for bumbles too 💗🤍💗 our garden has tons of flowers specifically for bees and butterflies. We'd get a lot of tired bumbles that needed some warmth and sugar water. I'd pick them up, warm them in my hands and feed them a little bit of sugar water and some flowers. They all seemed to enjoy being petted too! The longest I cared for one was 3 days. I love every single one of them and always cried when one passed away. I'd bury them in a matchbox with a little flower in under the apple tree. It's the only thing I like about summer, caring for and loving each fluff butt that needs a rest.

This was just so precious and special. People overlook that insects also have important roles in our lives and that they all have emotions as we do. They become afraid, happy, and sad, they feel joy and become emotionally attached just as people do. Most importantly they are capable of love. My daughter loves life in every form and has a such deep respect for all living creatures and plants. We've had Wolf Spiders as pets that had free reign of our house, they drank from the dog bowls and hunted for their food to eat in the home, and they chose to stay inside with us. We had a huge female and she had no fear of any of us, including our dogs and cat. When she finally died she came out from the hole in the wall she dug out for her house, laid herself across my daughters' feet, and passed away peacefully. She lived a full life, had babies for the next generation, and lived very well and safely in our home for a little more than 2 years. For our family it was a very special time, the bond we had with her was as precious as any of our other pets. When I see videos like this one it makes my heart so joyful. We are bridging a gap we've never considered before. To have this kind of special and deep bond with a Bubble Bee is truly remarkable. Bubbles are so sweet.

In winter it would go to sleep above my bed on the ceiling, so that it would feel my body head going directly up against him and keep him warm, it would keep insects away, and never caused any issued, one day he just vanished, and never ever saw him again nor any other spider, presumably maybe his children would be around but nope.

Many years ago at the pond near our village there was a young swan frozen in the ice. It was so young it still had its greyish brown feathers and apparently couldn't even fly yet and was left there. Before that my mother and some other people always fed it so it would survive through the winter. It's mostly a farmer village so there's enough food suitable for ducks and chicken around which the swan got as well. Then one day it apparently had broken into the ice on the pond, couldn't get out anymore and the hole froze close again. The fire brigade could rescue it though and after it was nursed back to health they let it free on a river at the next town over where the few swans of the area usually stay during winter. Each year a swan couple returns to the pond to breed. I don't know how long swans live but it could be possible that one of them is still our swan, or maybe one of its offsprings.

What an exotic life she led with you, dining on nectars, meeting "aliens" like the curious cat, but, best of all, feeling loved and respected in a family of her own.
To have feelings for something so tiny can shift your focus. It's so refreshing!
People tend to forget that even the smallest creature is a living thing. Trying its best to live the life it was given. Bless you, your family and this little creature.
My 2 sons and I, at different times rescued a bee like yours and 2 different butterflies. I know how endearing they can be. We cried when they died, but they got great care whilst they lived. Thank you for this video. Charming.

This bee may have not been able to live a long life like other animals, but she lived a safe and happy life, she knew she was loved and had somone that saved her life despite being a little bug. I may be scared of a lot of bugs but bumble bees are my favorites and this made my morning ❤
Bumblebees are so cute, they dont sting you even if you pat their abdomen. Its not even painful when they sting. Its like 2 times the pain. Also bumblebees live for a month and this little guy sure had a wonderful life
How incredibly special. What are the odds that this precious wingless bumblebee would be connected to just the person who could help him - and did help him in the most perfect way. Thank you so much.
RIP little Bumblebee, good to know you had beautiful life.
Thank you for "bee"ing so wonderful and compassionate! I have developed a greater appreciation for bumblebees after learning about their short lifespan. Thank you.
You gave her comfort in her lifetime of danger. That’s more than anyone could ever do for such a sensitive animal. Thank you for being so kind and making sure she was loved 🐝🌸🩵
What this couple did caring for this bumblebee is so beautiful and heartwarming! 🥰❤️🐝
Makes one wonder on how that bumblebee end up without wings when those lovely humans found her. She was just glad to spend her whole life to someone who looked after her even without the wings. It also makes us humans happy to see how the cat would be gentle and chill around her. What a lovely story to be shared

There's a disease transmitted by an invasive species in the US that affects native species pollinators by stunting their wings, and making them deformed. If you look very closely, you can just makes out the tiny bits of wings. That invasive species is known as the honey bee.

So true!! Many people are to scared they'll be stung to help a bee (and don't get me wrong, it is a worry, since the result would be the bee dying if it did sting) but honestly they usually seem to know when we're trying to help them...I've gently tapped a bumble on the butt before to get it to walk into my other hand or onto a leaf to transport it somewhere safe and give it sugar water, and wasn't stung.
I understand your sadness... but there is no need to be sad! You have a precious bee a full, happy life. There are very few people who can say that. She was in your path for a reason.🐝 Thank you for being such caring people.
Caring for a life, no matter how small, is always a beautiful thing. Thank you for your story and I am so sorry for your loss.💔🤗💕❤️🩹
So, so incredible - what a gift you were to each other.
You are an amazing person!!, to have noticed Ruby’s needs from the very beginning takes so much intuition. Good for you, perhaps there was something you needed to learn and Ruby was placed there to help you learn. God bless your kindness!!. 🙏🏼❤️
This was precious to watch. They gave her love and a wonderful home in her short little life. 💕
This is the second story that I’ve seen of someone looking after a wingless bee. And both stories are just as heartwarming as each other. Ruby was very lucky and happy right to the end. I couldn’t imagine her being safer and more loved anywhere else. Beautiful story!
I wonder how it lost its wings. What a great bee mom.
