Ive found what seems to be a bumblebee in my house. I gave it

Give it a little bit of honey and introduce extreme flowers.

Just put the honey near it or they die.

>>2343810
But i read they shouldnt be given honey.

>>2343813
That's because people feed it to them, I said leave some nearby.

Even if you are attempting to revive a honey bee, do not feed it honey – honey bees should only ever be given their own honey, and should not be given other honey, even if it is organic.

Is the bee warm enough?

>>2343818
I think so...
It has been very hot all day.
Now its hiding inside the shoe (?)

>>2343821
Could bee an old bee. What condition are the wings?

>>2343826
hm cant see it anymore and the fotos are too vague.
I tried getting it out of the shoe but then it just starts buzzing.Of course idk if it wants to rest there or if its stuck.

>>2343830
Think your best to just leave him and put some sugar water nearby. Not much more you can do. Could just be old.

>>2343831
should i put the shoe on its side at least?

>>2343834
Might make it easier on the bee to escape without wasting bee energy

Make sure it gets some pollen. I had a sickly bee once and I gave it sugar water and juice. One has to be careful not to feed it artificial stuff; sometimes additives are not good for them.

But the sugar water or juice wasn't helping. I even added grains of vitamin or mineral colloids, or a fraction of salt grain for electrolytes.

Nothing worked until I though to bring in some clover for it to romp around on. Within a few days he was up and buzzing.

My conclusion was that there was something in the pollen that he cleaned from his limbs and ingested, presumably some protein. So I kept bringing him fresh clover blossoms, and in days he recovered and I was able to let him free.

It sure felt good to see him buzz away on his own power.

A few years later, it didnt go so well. It was a yellow jacket and it died, and I felt bad. She seemed alright but grew weaker and weaker. I fed it jam and thought maybe it had additives that were toxic to the 'bee'. I tried and tried different things, bits of uncured meat and such, but nothing worked. It was very sad.

I should warn you that the seasonal emergence of carpenter bees or bumble bees often doesnt seem to go well. Some people tell me its age related.

In such cases, I do my best and make them comfortable, warm and sheltered. If it seems moribund, I make a point to keep food/water drops close, check it often and do my best to give it a decent final view, and provide shade and shelter timed for day and night, with it also available during the day. Sickly ones seem to like shade and shelter.

Ok ill give it some pollen if its still hiding in my kitchen somewhere.
As i mentioned it already flew towards the lamp in my kitchen.

bumblebees who are too early to awake from hibernation
google spring bumblebees
if there's no nectar she's pretty much RIP and it can't be helped.
