    "The rescuer spent an hour trying to put Betty on flowers in a local park on the way home, but the bee kept fluttering back onto her new friend, so Lacey allowed her to hitch a ride home on her: Betty happily wandering over Lacey's arms, shoulders and head." Story via SWNS

    "On the way Betty perched on the girl's glasses as she went into her local shop to buy milk, and other shoppers kept their distance, said mum. Betty's love for Lacey is steadfast, and she still follows her everywhere, even though her crumpled wing is fully recovered." Story via SWNS
