If you find a struggling bee, you can leave it some water mixed with white sugar: 50 / 50 % and this will give it the little boost it might just need to go about its day :)

Black kites lay between 2 and 3 eggs. The mum will sit on the eggs to incubate them for 30-32 days.
Black kites bring food for their offspring by hunting for food and feeding them beak to beak. The chicks don't have feathers for 18-22 days and will start flapping their wings after 27-31 days.
