A Bee falls into the water

Here, a bee falls into the water accidentally and somehow swims to the edge of the container using its wings to create small ripples and "surf" towards safety at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 04/06/2025. It can also drown if it cannot get out of the water quickly. Bees breathe through spiracles on their abdomen, and while they can close these openings to prevent water from entering, they can still suffocate after a while.
