My lovely bride of 45 years ( in two days ) got a call from a lady today. She found a bumble bee in her backyard and it had a deformed wing. So she's been bringing it fresh flowers for the nectar, but it's not doing as well as she had hoped. She would like us to take over the rehabilitation because we're professionals.

My wife was very sympathetic but she also explained that in nearly 26 years, no one has ever asked for a bumble bee rehab. Consequently, she was at a loss to even recommend someone else. ( My first thought was the BB tuna company )

Paul, as you know bees die. The worker bees will run until the wings fall off literally but it could be a case of one of the honeybees viruses, Deformed Wing Virus, that have been spread to the bumbles.

Oh, nice goin', Wink.
On toppa everything else I gotta worry over today, there's a bumblebee somewhere in Wisconsin with a bad wing.
