The unlikely friendship was formed between a kind-hearted woman and a wingless bumblebee
While working in her garden the woman encountered the wingless bumblebee
The bumblebee was affected by the virus known to cause problems in wing development
The woman made a beautiful enclosed mini garden for Bee
The bumblebee loved to be held in Fiona’s hands
Presly brought tiny cups of sugar water to her new pet every day
Fiona protected the insect from heavy rain by taking her indoors
The earth bumblebees have an average lifespan of only 18 weeks but this bumblebee managed to surpass it and live much longer
Fiona is probably the first person to have kept a bumblebee as a pet
The bond between Fiona and the bumblebee proves that humans can form connections with insects too
