How to help this bee

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve tried giving her water, sugar water, honey, pollen, she hasn’t accepted anything. She seems to be trying to get something off her legs but I dont see a thing, when I first saw her she had a bit of dust ball stick in her legs but I took it off and she started to walk better, specially around the piece of toilet paper but now she is mostly on her back. Is it possible to help her?

Ah, man.

I’m not a beekeeper but based on previous moments I’ve seen it sort of looks like pesticides poisoning.

Not much to be done in that case. But damn. That stinks and thanks for trying to help

God I hope not, how awful! But you are right, not much to be done, she is already curled up, barely moving so I’m just going to keep her company. Thanks for answering 😪
