Found this exhausted bee on the floor and left two containers of sugar water for her to choose from. She won't go for them though. What else can I do to help her?

    You can just get a drop on your finger or a stick and do the same. Just a drop though, don't want to drown the poor thing.

      I tried dropping from a smaller container, but she ran away as soon as I got close. Luckily, she ran in the direction of that spoon in the picture and desperately clinged to the flower I put there, half submerged in the water, and started "eating" through it. I hope she can get some water through it, somehow.

        Nice! It’s a great feeling when they perk up, I did this with a bumble bee once I swear it thanked me

        They will, many insects get moisture from the plants they eat looks lovingly at my stick insect trying to eat a leaf stealthily but making a loud munching sound
