Beezy
House Bee
Hi all,
I have a bird bath in the garden and will be getting bees soon. Will this be a suitable water source? Should I put a few stones in there or will the sloping sides be enough to stop them drowning in it? Also (this may be a silly question) do they mind sharing such a small area of water with bathing birds?
Next door has a pond and the neighbour is happy for the bees to use it as a source, although I still want to provide them with one myself even though they'll drink where they want!
Thanks,
Kate
