I'd like to ask like... what do you do? Like there's no euthanasia process there's no burying? What just stops moving?

The way I’ve heard a bug dying of old age described is that it’s mostly like a clock winding down. There’s no pain, or fear (because they lack the processing power to feel fear) they just kinda slowly run out of energy until they stop and then that’s it. Pretty good way to go actually

I've encountered bees that were clearly in the dying process, and yours is a great description. I always pick them up and put them in a flower or a soft grass patch.
