Default bees in flowers

I have three very lovely Karma fuschiana Dahlias out at the moment.
Being unstable some flowers are single, some are full.

The bees adore the single ones but why do you find bees at the end of
the day motionless inside flowers. If you touch them gently they do
respond if somewhat lethargicly but have they caught a mysterious
disease are they just out late or are they dying or what?
