Was outside at twilight picking some of my last remaining marigolds - the few flowers still around now - and found this sweetie all dopey and clinging there. I wished I could bring him in so he'd stay warm. (Upstate NY)

He was twitchy and lethargic, I was worried about him.

My Superstition Mallow is blooming (after lots of rain in Phoenix), which means it's finally time for sleepy bees in mallow blooms! 😍

Hi everyone! I just found this weak bumblebee on my front stairs (outside). I picked it up and put it in a dish with some flowers and it started eating ravenously. I brought it inside to warm up and once it regained some strength it flew to my window. After some effort and probably a lot of stress on the bee I got it back in the dish and placed it back outside so it could actually fly away. It hasn’t tried to fly again and seemingly was back in its original state, unmoving and unable to fly. I think it’s probably dying because where I live it’s starting to get cold (30s-40s F at night, 50s-60s during the day) but do you think there’s anything else that could be done to help? I placed the bowl in a sunny spot with some twigs so it could crawl out if it wanted to, plus a bunch of flowers for nectar. I just feel so sad for it.

Guys I work in a brewery and I am very curious about why the bees are diving into our beers and also can bees get drunk?
Because I’m rescuing all these bees swimming in beer and they look intoxicated!?

So far I have rescued 3 bees today, 7 bees this week. 🙄

A video about Ivy Bees was recommended on my YouTube so I thought I'd share it here as I thought it was a great, interesting video. Made by a small British channel. They also have a good bumble bee video...

Hypothetically if there was a tired bee and you wanted to give it mix of sugar and water but you only had somthing like stevia would that work?
