What does one do in that case, to help the bee without getting stung in the process?
In general it tends to involve supplying some warmth (normally from your own hand) and some food (normally runny honey).
In this case I let the bee walk onto my finger (they will normally do this if they are a bit cold. Went inside got a few drops of honey on a cocktail stick - put them on a piece of card - encouraged the bee to find the honey. Let it feed, then let it walk back onto my hand, took it outside and placed it on a flower and a few mins later it took off.
I\'ve never been stung doing bee rescues.
