It's been very dry and hot and I thought it was dehydrated and short of sugar.
I made a syrup with aa teaspoon of sugar in a teaspoon of water.
I encouraged it onto the spoon but it seemed too weak so I spilt some of the liquid on the counter and let it perhaps have a drink.
Although it is said they don't like getting their feet wet, this seemed to revive it and eventually it seemed to start drinking and moving about.
There aren't great photos - I was too busy taking care of the bee to bother with getting good phots - but I don't want to forget the episode either.
Off it flew.
