On a hot and humid July day in 2013 I was seeing all kinds of bees around my Garden that appeared to be dead. They were just lying on flowers, or seemed stuck in flowers or like this one, it stayed holding onto the Willow Twig Handle of one of my Clay Planters. I did manage to 'wake' this one up and also did a few others. I don't know if they were tired, thirsty, or a bit 'affected' by something in the air. I hadn't sprayed any Pesticides but you never know what is in the air anymore. Sure was interesting to see!
