Bees need to rest and sleep at night just like we do! Male bees find a cozy flower to rest on since they don’t have a nest for a home. They hold on to flowers with their mandibles or legs and stay there overnight. You might be lucky enough to catch a bee sleeping on a flower if you take an early morning walk in your garden.
