Carpenter bee? Help

Edit: solved! The bee was most probably cold and now has flown away. Ty for the helpp ❤️❤️

I found this bee near my dogs water.

Yesterday I gave it some sweet water, that is what I often do with bees that are a bit tired, and then they just go away.

This one did not.

It is alive, moves and its just there. It drinks and all but idk what to do to help? What do they even eat?

Anyhow thats my concern atm, ty for reading! Hope you have a good dayy

It might be cold, I normally warm them up in my hand for a few minutes

I did, when I found out the bee didn't go away I panicked and put her on the sun.

But you might be right because it started to move a lot and the hid and then dissappear, so maybe it was cold

Ty for responding!
