Poor thing may have just been too old or may have been sick. At least you gave her something to eat though.

I'm always sad when I come across a bee who's obviously on their last legs.

The bees that leave the hive are the oldest ones. Old age is likely

Imagine if humans had a retirement program like that. All seniors get flown to Florida or Australia or somewhere (maybe this already happens in the former case), and we ask them to come back with fish or whatever.

Imagine that bee, beeing old and tired, send away from the hive, certain to die, starting to hallucinate and suddenly finding the largest amount of sugar water in their whole life. It was probably happy.
