bees drinking water.jpg
As we head into spring and summer, don’t forget that your bees need water. Providing water (perhaps in a bucket of wet sand) will especially help to keep urban neighbours on side with you having bees in your back yard. In a rural setting, a convenient dam will help to keep your bees away from a farmer’s stock troughs. Photo Courtesy Naomi Kieser.
