Give bees a booster: Gardeners urged to leave out energy drinks for exhausted bees

How do you wake up a tired bee? Give it a sugar buzz, apparently.

Gardeners are being urged to leave out a drink made of sugar and water to help Britain's flagging bee population.

The RSPB has been inundated with calls about the insects lying on the ground, unable to fly.

That's some dedication to the Queen Bee, flying until they are exhausted.
