1. As with any wild animal that isn’t in obvious distress the best thing to do is leve it alone.

2. Keep it in the sun to warm it up 🙂

3. Just needs some warmth and rest.

4. How are you giving it sugar water? I soak up some on kitchen roll, it’s easier for them to drink that way than from a saucer. I would just let it rest though, it’s been horrible weather for little bees the past few days.

5. Sometimes you just need sit down and switch off. Just don’t tell the hive.

6. She may just be tired due to the strong winds. Also your arm was probably warm and comfy. Don’t leave her where ants can get to her though cause they’ll rip her apart

7. Give pets

8. It’s just rearming

9. Just seen one on the floor in my garden too, not moving. Thought it was abit odd, Dog went over to investigate and try to eat it but stopped him in his tracks. I thought the bee was dead but it moved slightly after

10. According to Google bees sleep for 5 to 8 hours a day. Hopefully she’s just having a snooze and will wake up soon

11. You sure they’re not having a nap?

12. Just let it bee
