u/Ecstatic-Duck8736

Found in Nova Scotia, Canada. Thin abdomen, black with light markings, and don't worry, we're changing the enclosure space when I get home.

I couldn't see any parasites externally attached to it. It would periodically start writhing again after a bit of inactivity, and spent the whole time either crawling clumsily or flopping over onto its back and curling up. It seemed to be in pain. Im VERY empathetic to bees (and bugs in general) so I'm really sad to see this. Her abdomen was also pulsing (in a movement type way).

When I found it, it was buzzing loudly in the grass, trying to crawl around but always managing to fall. It had no grip from what I could tell, but it could have been from pain and the need to curl against its thorax (as that's what I observed it to be doing sometimes)

I already released it out near a flower and it was very eager, but it ended up falling off. Overall it could barely stay still and couldn't stand properly.
