From Sandy: This week one of our regular visitors, Paul, brought us a bumble bee nest. He was repairing his deck when he found bumble bees using an abandoned Red Squirrel nest right under it. He was upset about disturbing the bees, but couldn't leave the nest where it was. Thinking quickly, he popped the nest into a box and brought it to the FWG.

We found it later that day, complete with instructions on when and how to open the box so that the bees could come and go. Luckily, Paul dropped by to ensure that the nest found a safe new home and was able to tell us the background story.

The nest is now safe - still in that box, but raised off the ground and sheltered from rain under a board.
