Bees die, and ants gota eat too.
I have no clue what I'm doing but i want to help it.
Hello guys! yesterday I found a bee on its back in my driveway. Its legs arent working well, i believe two can only grasp things and only sort of.Its abdomen is constantly pointed inwards as if like a human was looking down. (if that makes sense?) I'm thinking because my fiance was doing brakes near by that he possibly hurt it on accident 
if not its just old age im pretty sure. I've given it fresh dandelions and some honey water. Its perked up a lot and maybe im crazy but i think its appreciating the help. I've been holding it witha stick and dandelion though I'm really confident i could hold it bare handed and be fine. Its a female carpenter bee from the research I've done. Anyone ever do something like this for a bee before? With how its acting im assuming im doing it right but would really like to hear from someone who is knowledgeable about bees! I know they don't live long, I just cant stand the idea of some ant finding it and alerting the colony and the poot thing gets eaten alive theres been a couple ants in her flowers, and she tried to get away from them when they came up to her :/

She definitely won't fly away. I've kept her container lidless this entire time and those wings haven't so much as flutter. Maybe my mom is wrong but she told me they could unalive themselves if they're really unhappy so that's why i'm accommodating for it. plus it doesn't hurt and is a little fun to watch I'm curious to see how long it lasts! she seems to be doing better, and doesnt really show signs of age, so im thinking maybe she did get hurt by my fiance :/

jimbo- thats what i figured aside from the fact that her wings are in immaculent shape. I do believe last night she was having siezures though
mrnmyke, I'm not 100% settled but i believe hun..... its short for honey(i know she doesnt make honey the irony,huh?) and she its just the pet name i keep using for her.

Oh I'm just a big old pussycat
You can hold her. Bees aren't out to "get you" as so many think.
Wasps on the other hand - I'm certain are why so many people are scared of bees. Wasps are NOT bees and can sting multiple times without injury. And often sting without much reason.
Maybe if you can show your fiancé that you can hold a bee, he'll lighted up to the idea of getting a hive
