Is it rewilding or restoration? Maybe it doesn't matter as it is a positive outcome, but I'd err towards restoration on the basis that restoration is human-led/nature-enabled, whereas rewilding is nature-led/human-enabled.

At least it's not a hoverfly I guess.. 🙄

Or an Asian Hornet 🙂

As if getting a photo of a bumblebee was going to be too hard 🙂

"Badly" illustrated 😉
Although it's usually honey bees photobombing pollinator news articles, sometimes a honey bee article is illustrated with something else ... like this YLH

And, I'm pretty sure the bees are A. cerana ... 🤦 D'oh!

And AI/photoshopped/superimposed (delete as appropriate) at that… but as you say, a good story! 💚 🐝

At least it's actually a bee and not a hover!
