A UK teenager who rescued a bumblebee says it is now her loyal pet — sleeping by her bed and even following her to stores and the bowling alley. 13-year-old Lacey Shillinglaw spotted the large fluffy bumblebee lying in the road while walking her dog two weeks ago. She scooped up the bee, now named Betty, noticing it had a crumpled wing, and tried to put it in a safer spot, on some flowers in a nearby park. But it refused to stay put, buzzing back over to Lacey and crawling all over her. After an hour Lacey gave up and headed home with the creature perched on her shoulder.
