Honey Bee on a stone step drinking sugar water. Its right front leg is on the liquid. Head down drinking. Yellow and black stripes on its body underneath its folded wings. Darker abdomen and head.

The bee is walking away from the sugar water now having had its fill. It’s still on the stone step. The liquid to its right. It’s nearly at the edge of the step and yes, I have a honeycomb shaped black doormat!

Found a cold and exhausted Honey Bee on the doorstep last night. Gave it sugar water and it revived!
Happy Bee Happy Me!
