Bumble bees

Many fly in through my window.
They all become trapped between my net curtains and the glass panes.
Sadly many die.
Its beyond me, how they find their way in but can never get out.
Ive developed a way to save some of them.
With a long feather duster i coax them down to the open pane.
Average time about 5 minutes.
It's a bit of a battle, they do resist.
Fortunately i haven't harmed any of them  yet.
But i am very happy when they fly away.
I saved one this morning, and im very pleased about it.
