This research also suggests that resting is an important part of the bumblebee's life cycle, and that long grass and leaves are important for their safe concealment and undisturbed rest, for example for queen bees in early spring.<\/p><p>In the video by Jakub \u010cern\u00fd from 2\/3\/2020, you can see a mother warming herself in the sun and resting \u2013 after a while, she flew away.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba83338 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"ba83338\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/o0g5RTho4Rs&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-259e9bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"259e9bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"#\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you find a bumblebee resting on a road or pavement (and if it is safe for you to do so - see note on allergies), you can gently move it to a sheltered spot or, even better, to the nearest flowering plant.\u00a0<br \/>You just need to offer it a leaf, a blade of grass, or carefully pick it up with a piece of paper.
