Headline: Just thought I'd give you a buzz: Bee who uses Ring doorbell

Caption: WORDS BYLINE: Kerry Coupe When Pam Orme checked footage from her new Ring doorbell she couldn’t believe her eyes. Her first visitor was a large bumblebee, which appeared to be preening itself while buzzing loudly and eventually landing on the camera. It eventually had to be shooed away by Pam, who had installed the new doorbell at her home in Uffington, near Stamford, Lincolnshire, a few days before. The encounter happened at the beginning of March and it’s possible that the creature was a queen bee at the start of the season. “I couldn’t believe this was my first visitor to the doorbell,” Pam said. “She’s beautifying herself in the camera. She really is a stunning bee.” She said her previous standard doorbell was “on its last legs” and her neighbour’s new Ring doorbell led her to follow suit, as she can speak to delivery workers when she’s out or see who’s at the door when she’s home alone. But so far, her only interactions have been the bee’s first visit, spying on her pet cat and workmen currently at her home cheekily using it to ask her to put the kettle on. “It’s all been fun and games so far but I think the doorbell will be worthwhile,” Pam added.
