I was watching a program yesterday morning and they were talking about bee's funnily enough. Apparently sugar and water isn't the thing to give, but to provide plain water and to put the bee on a flower that has pollen.
Well done for trying, bee's need all the help they can get these days.

Hmmm I also saw a prog about bees and also sugar water was advised and also put on a plant with pollen

Today we went shopping and had to meet up again with my daughter outside Primark. When we got there she called us over and there was a bee on the ground. She only had a small card to try and pick him up so I found a piece of card in my bag. She managed to get him onto it but then he went back onto her bit of card. She picked him up and put him on a petunia in one of the nearby flower pots. He crawl over her hand but didn't sting her. I hope he's okay.

I would imagine if he got to an open flower he would get nectar and that's all he needs and a little rest well done u
