Make a Bee drinking station!
Bees need water to survive! Honey bees need water to make food for their young, and keep their hive cool and humid. They collect water during the summer months so now is the perfect time to make your bee drinking station!

Fill a bucket, tray or saucer with water – ideally rain water – and put a few different sized stones in it that are large and stable enough to give bees a safe place to drink from. If you have a pond, you could try adding floating-leaved plants, wine corks or rocks to give bees a landing pad!
