๐๐ A WAY WE CAN ALL HELP THE BEES ๐๐ QUICK AND EASY ๐๐
I wrote a post 2 months ago about trying to help the bees by filling a bottle top with water & sugar to give them some energy when they need it. Now this is OK when you find a bee on the floor but since adding my bee bar i have noticed a few bees being lazy.
A few bees were coming straight for the water and sugar without visiting the flowers so i quickly emptied these.
I have since found a new way to help the bees when they need a drink.
I have washed out a plant pot tray.
Then saved up lots of plastic bottle tops.
Fill with cold water then add lots of bottle tops that will float on top.
The bottle tops will give the bees somewhere save to stand when they have a drink. You could also use marbles
If we all do a little bit to help the bees maybe we could all change there future.
Thank you son-of-satire
Thank you @artedellavita
still sugar water?
if so, they now have lots of options to land and no longer have to wait in a holding pattern to land.
If pure water, do bees actually drink, need water?
Plain water and yes there supposed to enjoy it :)
I can remember doing honey water as a kid,
Never heard that of that one :)
You used sugar in the water, we used boiling water and honey.
75 years ago it seemed a good idea, it may have been still water,
Knowing how tight my father was, it probably was just water.
Does the tightness run in the family? LOL
tighter than a ducks, and that won't even pass water.
Is my hubby related LOL
I like that "bee bar". So cute and what a great idea.
I like the second option. And I totally agree with you with helping the bees since they are so important in our daily lives and they do an amazing work.
No laziness!
Thank you :)
I think your bee bar is so clever! No such thing as a free lunch in your garden! Get to work, bees!
They have to keep busy lol :)
Good going. No sugar added to the tray?
No. Just water :)
This is an awesome idea! A bee bar! We do need to help our little friends. Thanks for being a great and small animal lover! ๐ค๐คค๐๐
Thank you :) ๐๐
