Bees need water, especially in hot weather—but finding safe spots to drink can be hard. You can help with a simple DIY Bee Watering Station using just a shallow bowl, marbles, and water.
How to Make It:
- Use a shallow dish or plate.
- Fill it with colorful marbles.
- Add water—just enough to leave the tops of the marbles exposed so bees can land safely without drowning.
Place the station in a sunny spot near flowers to attract bees. Refill water regularly and bring it inside during freezing weather.
This easy setup not only hydrates bees but also attracts butterflies and other pollinators. A small act of kindness that supports your garden—and might even inspire your neighbors too.
