This dozy creature dive bombed me last night and landed in my glass of red wine! Rather useless once it was fished out. Any suggestions. It eventually flew off having walked around in circles for 20 minutes.
Many thanks,
Jono

That's what swimming in red wine does for a bee!

Hi Shane,
It was a 2000 Gran Reserva Rioja, so glad the bee enjoyed it. Wonder what messages she passed on back at the hive?!
Cheers,
Jono

As its a female you won't have to worry about it following you around saying "I luuv yoooo Jono" ( although it may make disparaging remarks about your genitals ).
