Hey guys, I have posted about my bee before but there has been some progress in my little guys stuck shed today.

I got him out today and he had a flap of shed hanging off his nose so I popped him in a bath and tried to remove it but it was securely stuck to his nose and I didn't want to risk removing a scale. There is also shed hanging up from the back of his head but it is facing the wrong way to assist it off and I cannot get any loose near his nose to try to remove the shed.

He's very calm, seems quite happy, eats, doesn't hiss or go into a defensive strike mode during any of this intrusion of me on his face. I was planning on leaving it well be but as it is slowly coming off I wanted to see if I could help it along.

I am right to be under the presumption that peeling /rubbing it backwards towards his nose would be more of a detriment and holds more risk than benefit?

Any advice would be great
