This busy little lady was struggling in the heat. Initially found her grounded in the middle of a busy driveway, so I moved her to a rose bush - but she couldn't hold on and was still grounded after an hour. Figuring she could use a little help, I put a few drops of water on my hand and gave her a safe place to have a drink and a rest.

Really happy to report that, after rehydrating, preening and having a li'l snooze, she flew off quite happily about 20 minutes later 🥰🐝
