So today I tried to save a bee that was trapped between my windows at work. I managed to get him out but he was bolloxed!
Made up some sugar water for him to drink but managed to drop him wings first onto the sugary mixture!
Got him the right way up and he was loving the energy drink (was fascinated watching his tongue lap up the food).
Thought he'd flown out of the endor only to see him walking on the floor.... The sugar water had dried and rendered him unable to fly

My niece and I did the same thing for a wasp once (minus dropping it) then panicked when it started to fly, ran in the house and shut the door lol |

May be it walked because it hadn't quite the strength to fly |

"Evie, that's like the bee rescue equivalent of your typos. 
"
 Epic typos.
OP it was a lovely thought. I reckon the bee was pissed off the sugar and just needed to walk it off. Love this story. |

Why?
The bee I can understand, but wasps are just little stabby bastards whose sole raison d'être is to go around fucking with people |

Wasps are very important! They are a gardeners friend, eating all the pests on their plants etc! |

I've a habit of helping fallen bees onto flowers so they can get some nectar. Think I've always been like that though, because once I picked some insect out the sea in either Spain or Greece, to get it out and safe. Little dick stung me though. Christ it hurt. I was eleven at the time. Obviously i was not very bright for eleven |

UPDATE
He's alive!
Apparently after I left for the day he came crawling back out so my colleague picked him up and put him on the windowsill outside with some more sugar syrup and he flew away.
Saved another one today too and managed not to drop him! |
