We were out leaning against a sun drenched stone wall enjoying our afternoon coffee when I noticed a bee. It was slowly crawling along the cold cement ally. It seems to be common for them to run out of energy while on foraging missions. I decided to pick a nearby stalk of wildflowers to place in its path, thinking it would fuel up on nectar. It didn't seem to be that interested in the flowers, so I used the stalk to transfer it to a sunny spot next to the wall. It almost immediately increased its activity and gradually climbed halfway up the wall before taking off to an unknown fate. Later on we saw an almond tree that was nourishing dozens of very noisy bees.
