Here are before and after pictures of the bird bath I use to water the bees. I pulled a few weeds, added some mulch and a new bath. Before ( photo / image / picture from eclecticgarden's Garden ) After ( photo / image / picture from eclecticgarden's Garden )
Wonderful bee bath--I bet the bees love it! Bees don't like to drink near their home. We had a shallow container for bee drinking near the hive. The bees would go right past it and head for the bird bath (deeper and more dangerous for the bees.) Now we have a gravel filled shallow bath near the deeper one for the birds. Everyone seems happy!
