Bees

Hi, sorry I am not sure where to post this or if anyone would be able to give any insight but I have found a motionless tree bee on the path in my garden for the last 4/5 days which at first i thought was dead.

The first day I moved it onto the hedge as it hadn't moved for about 2 hours, the second day it was back motionless on the path, third day I gave it some sugar water and after drinking the bee had flown off, fourth day sugar water and after checking on it the bee had again flown away but today it is back, only it is a lot more lively and is checking out my gardening shoes that I forgot to bring in from yesterday. I just wonder if there is something wrong as you don't usually see bees just sitting motionless on a path especially for four/five days. 

Thank you

I have seen bees just sitting and moved them to a place of safety

Without wishing to be rude or flippant........it might be a different bee
