A bumblebee spent the day aboard Pino today. We could not persuade it to leave.

When it did leave. We added screens on all windows/doors.

The bumblebee came back a few short minutes later. We watched it as it tried all of the openings, all 3 were screened, all impassable.

Never seen a bumblebee so determined to get back inside. Wonder why o_O.

@rek bees and bumblebees are fine, the problem is the wasps. I get stung even 3 or 4 times a year just working in the garden.

@rek I can imagine hoping for some calories or fresh water?

@grey Yea that'd make total sense, but it didnt wander near any of those. Never went near the sink or food (veg/fruit are left in baskets, in the open).
It kept going in the v-berth (only blankets and clothe bins there...), and near a the wooden slats for our bed XD...

Super puzzled.
