Sleeping bee

I came across this bee, seeming asleep, under a dead bloom on one of our Salvias.
When I first approached it flew but after a few seconds it landed back in the same spot.
I couldn't very close so shot is heavily cropped.

Good shot. I have never seen a bee sleep, rest, or even stop moving for very long. Curious! Worth some research. Thanks!

Very well done. Also, I've yet to see one resting hanging upside down so thanks for sharing your find.
