2How to Make a Bee Waterer with Marbles
Like humans, bees need water on hot summer days to drink and cool off. Unfortunately, when they make a stop at birdbaths or forest streams, they risk drowning or encountering larger animals looking for a snack. The solution is simple, though! All you need to do is grab a pan or shallow bowl, and add a good amount of stones, pebbles or marbles before filling with water. The rocks and knick-knacks will give bees a nice landing spot and help avoid drowning. It’s best to change the water every week or so to make sure other insects don’t lay eggs.
