I thought it might have died in there, since I watched it for a good two minutes with no movement. It turns out that "passing out" in flowers is a thing that bees do sometimes.

Bees also like playing with small balls like marbles and can share locations of nectar with other hive members through a dance-language. They are incredibly intelligent for their brain size.
