A Good Drink
Yesterday's bee was actually getting ready to have a nice drink of water. I had a small, shallow decorative saucer on the deck that became filled with water. The bees discovered that it was a perfect place for them to get a nice drink and have been coming back ever since. I now keep it topped up for them. There can sometimes be 4 or 5 of them all drinking.
I heard it is good to put out water for the bees, keep them happy.
ReplyDeleteTake care, enjoy your day and have a great week!
That is about as cool as can bee :) . Bees tend to visit us in greater numbers later in the year after the Joe Pye has bloomed for awhile.
ReplyDeleteThank you for treating the bees well. They do need water. I hope they continue to do their work of pollinating all those plants and flowers.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea keeping some water for the bees. I see them gravitating to water when I'm walking at the garden.
ReplyDeleteThe bees appreciate the water you place out for them.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Pat! I appreciate you too
ReplyDeleteIt is a good capture that it is sipping off the water
ReplyDeleteIt's good to help the bees - we need them!
ReplyDeleteWe don't give much thought to insects drinking. Nice.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea, RedPat. I read when a bee really is in trouble you should add sugar to the water. But this one looks but thirsty :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot and the bees have a way to tell other bees where to find the water.
