Summer is a great time for spotting pollinators in the yard, and seeing them enjoy my outdoor space makes me happy to know there's a healthy ecosystem in my garden. With a heatwave incoming, it's more urgent than ever to supply birds, bees, butterflies, and more with water to stay hydrated and cool down in.
So, I present to you one of the most charming DIYs I've come across this week: a bee watering station. Although, butterflies and smaller birds can easily benefit from it, too. If you're keen to attract bees to your garden, then it's key to provide them with some water to drink from. The issue with relying on bird baths for this is they aren't the easiest for bees to use. A bee watering station, however, consists of pebbles for bees to sit on while drinking from a shallow dish.
