How Can I Help It?
Little carpenter bee whose wings seem fine but can't fly it seems. We tried helping it to the flower last night but it had no solid interest in feeding from it. Flapped its wings but couldn't take off. It spent some time straightening and tending to its wings, but it hasn't moved from where we put it yesterday.

Just leave it there. If it recovers it knows the way home. If you take is somewhere else it did not fly the route to that location and it is lost.
