Yes, @fiberfrau they sure are! My mom loved bumble bees and I helped one a few summers ago with sugar water and laid the bee on a paper towel that was damp. It was a very hot day. They have been dying for years. The one I helped on a paper towel with sugar water got better. I put a little too much water for him and quickly got dry paper towels to lay him on. He was they laying still for an hour and a half after I gave him sugar water and got rid of all the water I clumsily spilled. I had put the bee in the shade too. After an hour and a half I went to look at him still laying still looking dead. I gave the bee a little nudge with my finger talking to him. He suddenly flew off very high into the air!!!! You are most welcome for the pictures @fiberfrau I adore bumble bees now. I loved helping that one a few years ago. 🌸🐝🌺🐝🌸!BBH !CTP

I never thought about insects getting overheated. Bless his/her heart! Wonderful story. !PIZZA
The bee's weakness is something caused by lack of food/flowers and pesticides I think. I read an article about helping bees this way a few years ago. I'll have to look it up again and post the article for you or something similar to what I read. !BBH !CTP

Oh @fiberfrau I found a bee tonight sitting on a flower in the yard very week and not able to fly. I feel so bad for them. I went and put some sugar and water in a cup and brought it outside with a spoon. The Bumble bee was afraid to get onto the spoon and fell I tried to scoop him up and he wouldn't get onto the spoon but I gentle encouraged the bee to climb the flower again. Poor thing was so weak and fell a few times. I tried encourage the bee to drink a few drops from the spoon and he/she climbed the flower to a place on the stem that he seemed to feel comfortable. I hope tomorrow he feels able to fly off. I don't know but sure hope so. !BBH !CTP
