This morning I found a lovely bee on the bedroom carpet. It looks healthy, but it’s minus a leg. I made up some honey water, which it lapped up, but what do I do with the poor thing now? At the moment it’s in a plastic cup, which is laid on its side, in a flower bed, as I’m hoping it will fly home, but what should I do if it doesn’t?

You've given the bee a new lease of life. It must have just been tired and in need of sustenance. If it's a queen it may find somewhere to nest over the winter.
