The bee was collapsed on our back doorstep one day last week. He got rather sticky on the honey from the spoon but lapped it up with great gusto, and after two sessions supping away, the next time I went to check, he had gone. I wouldn't normally be comfortable getting quite so up close and personal, but he seemed so exhausted that I didn't think there was any risk of a sting.
I still remember the stork video you posted of them "clacking" their bills. And now yawning - funny birds. How nice that you took pity on that bee and gave it enough energy to move on.
