Field Notes

Description:

I'm not sure what happened to this Bee or if it is normal for one to die this way. I found this insect covered with hardened pollen to the point where it couldn't see or fly. It let me clean it with warm water, q tips and tweezers without fighting for hours; and then it flew away.
