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 wasnโt 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 ๐
