First ye need to build yer self a ship!  Scratch that ideres. First ye needs to have some type of containers. Such as as a's raised garden bed or just and thrown over board pot.  Ayes even use an old treasure chest. Arrh....

You too can bee a hero!

While on liberty this morning myself and Avocado Adams ran across a struggling bee on the sidewalk.  Right away we knew he had to help rescue this tired bee!  I yelled everyone stand back!!!  Garden Pirates to the rescue!!!

As the Captain... I had Avocado run back to the ship Cornucopia and get sugar, water, a plate, spoon and a cup. We mixed a table spoon of pure sugar with just a couple ounces of water in the cup. Next we poured the sugar water into a plate just enough to have a small puddle.  We rinsed our spoon and slowly got it under the bee and placed the fellow shipment on the plate.

We watched the little guy slurp up the yummy mixture and went to the edge of the plate.  It was about 15mins and the little guy had enough strength to fly back to the hive.

You to can bee a hero!  Next time while on liberty or your garden and you see a little shipmate out of gas you can feed em a little sugar water or even better a drop of honey if you have it!  And you too will do your part as a fellow garden pirate!

Just a friendlies reminder.... bees very careful while doing this because bees can still sting yous! Arrh...
