This happened a few weeks ago in my house in Guadalajara, Mexico. We tried to move them to a beehive but the bees didn't liked it and moved elsewhere

No hard frost or freeze yet so a few sunflowers left for the bees to sleep overnight waiting for the sun to get warmer. Hang in there little dudes

A bit of sugar water, was very awkward to hold in this position while filming but worth it lol. Currently outside my window in the shockingly warm sun for almost November! With the spoon, with more water.

Hello! I have this bee (I think it’s a bee) on my screen door. It seemed sluggish yesterday so I gave it some warm sugar water. At first I thought maybe it was an emaciated bumble bee but I’m starting to wonder if it could be a carpenter bee? It seems to want into my house but I assumed it’s bc it wanted the warmth. If it is a carpenter bee what should I do to avoid any damage to my house? I’m assuming one bee won’t do much but I worry more abt them setting up shop and there being more lol. I also don’t see a stinger on it.

Update: He’s not on the screen anymore so hopefully that means he got enough energy to keep doing his thang for now! I saw a bumblebee flying around the garden but I don’t think it was him bc it seemed a big bigger.
Also I wanted to say this is a very pleasant subreddit! I always get nervous posting in a new sub for the first time because some people can be so rude toward newcomers or the less knowledgeable so I really appreciate the info and also the upvotes! This is a very cozy space!

Swarms of them on the hike, including butterflies too. Was wonderful to see.
