You’ve seen bees hop from flower to flower in summer, but have you ever wondered where they find a drink? Natural puddles dry up fast, and deep birdbaths can be deadly for small pollinators. A simple DIY “bee bar” gives them a safe landing pad—and it takes only minutes to set up.
Why It Matters
- Bees keep gardens and food crops alive. Pollination relies on healthy, hydrated bees.
- Shallow water sources are vanishing. Without them, bees waste energy searching—or drown in deep containers.
- One small dish can draw butterflies and ladybugs too.
