Create a bee bowl. Give wild bees somewhere safe to drink by putting pebbles in a shallow dish filled with water. Place in a sunny spot near bee-friendly flowers and perhaps add a solitary-bee hotel. You'll be helping our declining pollinators.

Looks great! Any size should work, as long as it projects above your water level and is big enough for a bee to rest on. Let us know if it works.
Found an old plant pot base, some left over gravel and old marbles from a children's game.. my theory is maybe the marbles will attract the bees.. do you think it matters I don't have large pebbles? Will confirm if I see any bees. Forget-me-nots in the background that just came up on their own..
Love this simple bee fountain! Will create near some wildflowers I’m planting from the 38 degree pollinator campaign! Get some seeds if you haven’t got anyway 🐝🐝🐝https://speakout.38degrees.org.uk/campaigns/2074?utm_source=email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=blast2020-04-10
