i tried getting her back in the cup again but she was struggling to fly, which would make it harder for her to fly back out
i went to make more sugar water (spilling more granulated sugar 🙄) this time i also put some damp sugar on a paper towel because maybe she didn’t want to risk getting too wet?

so my plan was to open the door, trap her in the cup, and bring her outside because the cup method was most effective at getting her away from the door
but when i opened the door, she crawled behind the sliding door!
i was humbled EXTREMELY quickly when i crushed her with the door
i saw her squished abdomen in that little bristly part, and i was heartbroken
i thought i killed her
but “thought” is the key word there; worse yet the poor thing was still alive, and still limping around
i ran to get the cup again but by the time i got back, she already crawled into a crack under the floor to die
tl;dr i lethally injured a bee i tried to save and i’m paranoid
