Water for pollinators

A shallow dish helps.

3 min read

Bees and butterflies need water too, especially in hot weather.

How

  • Fill a shallow dish with pebbles or marbles and water
  • The stones give insects a safe place to land
  • Change the water every few days to prevent mosquitoes
  • A damp patch of soil can attract butterflies
