Helped a bee
August 11, 2025
Today, a bee landed on the stairs while I was eating lunch. Usually, they're just tired and taking a nap. This time was unusual because the bee didn't fly away.
It climbed on a dandelion leaf and quickly moved to my hand. I fed it some honey, as shown in the image.
It appeared to be cleaning itself and it's wings. This usually works, but the bee didn't fly away.
I brought it to a nest of other bees in the front yard, but they didn't come out to help. A couple smaller bees came out to check out the flowers and flew by, but didn't do anything to help the bee. I sat and watched the butterflies and bees.
I gave it water and waited for what seemed-like an hour, but it took a nap and continued to clean it's wings.
I brought it to the backyard to flowers by a tree and finally coaxed it onto a nice flat leaf of a flower.
Coming back a few minutes later, it was gone.
Guide: You saved it.
