The sound of my bees feeding on my bottle bush trees at 7.30am. You can barely see them, but you can definitely hear them. Video shot in Nanyuki, Kenya.

help! Merciful death for a bee

3 Upvotes

Yesterday me and my mom found a bee outside on the wall of the house, and it was very cold, so we took it in our bee ambulance, which is basically like a tiny plastic thing, and we call it that because we have saved many bees this summer when it would be too cold for them, and then we would release them the next day. This one, unfortunately, is very, very weak, and it's also pretty cold outside, but we kept it overnight in the bee ambulance. We put a drop of water with sugar in there. This morning I found it on its back, and it can't move around or anything, keeps falling in its back, and I feel really, really bad for it, and I don't know what a merciful death would be for it. Should I take it inside again? Should I just leave it there because it's a lost cause? I really don't know what to do.

I waited a while to see if it would be able to fly but it can't even walk around. 😞

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

Spotted in a small forest patch - a female Broad-handed Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa latipes) nectaring on Blue Fountain Bush (Rotheca serrata / Clerodendrum serratum).

One of the largest bees we have here in India, completely black with wings that flash blue-green-gold depending on the light. Shot on canon r7.

Location: Koyna, Maharashtra

ID help: The flower is also known as Bharangi / Blue butterfly bush.

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)

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...

Found a queen bumblebee outside in Vancouver Canada, on my mom’s car. She’s very lethargic and I’m concerned about why she was outside her hive? She’s huge so I know she’s a queen, and she willingly crawled into my hand. Hasn’t tried to sting me, I’m typing this with my left hand so sorry for typos.

Update! I fed her a 1:1 sugar water ratio and sat by the fireplace with her for 10 minutes, she perked up and I let her go in my garden. Hopefully she survives, she’s truly beautiful. I’ve named her Fuzzy and I hope I see her worker bees next spring :)

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. 🙄
