This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen!!!  A bee revival kit!  This is exactly how I got into bees (I'm now a beekeeper) - I found a tired bee on the ground, and gave her a drop of sugar water to revive her.  When I talked about that to people, a beekeeper got in touch with me and asked if I'd be interested in hosting a bee hive - I was - and 5 years later I'm CRAZY about bees - but it was that one tired little bee that got me started.  If I'd been elsewhere and not at home, I wouldn't have been able to give her anything to revive her - so now I always carry around some of my own raw honey, just in case - but imagine my delight and surprise when I found a company in the UK that actually MAKES Bee Revival Kits!  It's a tiny vial of sugarwater, something you can put on your key chain and take with you wherever you go - so if YOU see that poor tired bee on the ground, whether it's a bumble bee or honey bee or some other kind of bee, or even a butterfly - YOU can revive her!  We desperately need to save our bees, they pollinate one third of all our crops, and this is just the most charming, delightful EASY way to help them all.  That poor tired little honey bee on the ground is a tired old lady, who has just run out of energy while she was out grocery shopping (foraging) for her family - LET'S ALL HELP SAVE THE BEES!  I loved the idea so much I bought a whole stack of them - and am trying to introduce them to everyone here in the USA!   free local pickup available in Fort Lauderdale too.  Below is the information from the beevive website - I give them 100% credit for everything - they are amazing!

The 5 Simple Steps to Revive a Bee:



1 ) Check the Symptoms


Is the bee wet? If so, you can place her in the sun to warm up. An exhausted bee, however, will appear lethargic and will probably be far away from any flowers. It is important to note that she could be only resting or actually dying. Bees don’t live very long, and if she looks old or is clinging to a flower, sadly these steps won’t resurrect her. 



2 ) Stay Protected 


Make sure you are protected from the bee’s stinger by using your sleeve, a nearby leaf, or a container when you pick her up. Remember to be gentle. There’s nothing scarier than a big human carrying you off.



3 ) Find a Flower 

 

Try and find a flower nearby. If it’s possible, make it a high nectar and pollen one such as buddleia, sunflowers or knapweeds. This is the high-nutrient food that she has been looking for. 



4 ) Wait


You do need to have a little patience. The average bee resting time is about 30 minutes. Give it time and if she doesn’t take it, she either can’t or doesn’t want it. 



5 ) Offer a Sugar Solution 


If the flower method fails, sugar water is needed. The RSPB suggests getting a small container or spoon and offering two tablespoons of granulated white sugar to one tablespoon of water. If you have your Bee Revival Keyring, this is an easy step for your spontaneous encounter with a tired bee. Remember that if she doesn’t take it, don’t force it on her as she will be a sticky mess and worse off than when you found her!
