Bird baths aren’t just for birds. Pollinators need water as well. If you have a bird bath, simply add a few rocks to keep the bees from drowning. Too many go into the bath to drink, but quickly drown because they have nothing to hold on to. If you don’t have a bird bath, for less than $20 you can make a great hydration stop for bees and other pollinators. I purchased a large planter tray for $9.99 and then got a bag of river rocks for $4.99. Simply fill the planter with the rocks and then water and place in your garden or flower beds. I placed mine on an old pot of mine, but you can certainly get a cinder block or some bricks for super cheap to prop it off the ground.
