One evening recently, as the sun was sinking, Michael saw a bee on our back verandah looking a little worse for wear. He recalled reading that sugar water can revive a struggling bee. He brought it inside, we mixed a potion and offered it on a teaspoon.

It wasn’t long before the bee caught the scent and tucked in.

She soon revived and we kept her safe until morning and released her back to the garden.

Worse for wear? I thought she was zarking-well dead. Curled up in the foetal position and looking decidedly crusty for an hour she was, and I walked past her several times. I eventually picked her up, gave her a stern talking to and brought her inside 😀
