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 indeed. They come in little yellow boxes. Each queen has a little entourage of workers and a plug of bee candy/bee fondant (basically a thick icing sugar mix). The little yellow box is the put in a cardboard container and there is a sticker on it that says, "caution, living contents".
