Yesterday evening I was deadheading my Candula's when I came across this little Bumble Bee. He had his head just buried and looked like he hadn't the strength to lift a leg. I snapped a few photos and he moved his rear end just a bit so i stopped flashing! We had over 90° weather that day. I also wondered if he might be thirsty. So I put the garden hose on fine fine spray and sprayed below the flower he was on. Almost immediately he woke up and cralwed over on the edge of the flower to drink!! I'm going to try your idea in a couple places, thank you for sending it in.
