Yesterday when I reached my destination with my car I noticed I was carrying a bee in it the whole time(I had the windows closed).Could this bee survive hundreds of miles away from its nest or is it doomed to die?Any chances it could be "adopted" by another nest?

Solitary bees are other species than social bees, such as the honeybee. They make it on their own by definition.

And about being adopted by another nest, I've got no idea how easy it is for a bee to locate an unknown hive. If your "lost bee" would find one, she would most likely be chased away by the guard bees because her smell was different, but if she had the foresight to load up on nectar or pollen first, she might be admitted.

We did an experiment where we marked 100 honeybees with tiny number stickers on their backs. Newborn adult bees are relatively easy to handle, they don't fly yet and their stingers aren't very effective. We put the bees in the hive from which the brood had been removed. We checked the hive for the numbered bees daily. Once they were old enough to leave the hive to forage for nectar and pollen, some would end up in neighboring hives. In the end, about 10% migrated. Since these hives were pretty close together in a bee stand, maybe they just landed at the wrong address by mistake.
