Make a Bee/Insect Watering Station - PEP BB animal.sand.waterstation

Made a watering station today!

The stones and twigs I first gathered were not sufficient as you can see in the second picture. Went around for a scout and found some additional materials: more stones, more twigs, a piece of a palm leaf and some shells that a sweet little girl gave me a while ago as a present and up until today I didn't know what to do with them!

The spot I chose to put the watering station has half shade half sun, close to fruit trees, the vegetable garden and close to me so I can watch :)

My Bee watering station includes sand, pea gravel, rocks, a bigger pretty rock and sticks...plus, water.

Howdy, my kids saw a garter snake earlier this week and I was so excited (on account of our mice population) that I wanted to ensure that they had access to water and want to make our property their home. It seemed like a great opportunity to bring water to the birds and the bees as well! I made 2 watering stations and my kids each made 1 watering station. I combined it all in our photos.

It rained while the stations were under construction so I was able to use rainwater to fill the plates. I plan to use the cold water from warming the shower to refill the stations.

A pie plate, glass marbles, sticks and stones were used to construct my insect watering station. I underestimated the amount of glass marbles needed and added some stones as I was filling the waterer.

Thus is an old chicken watering can I was given. I've butchered my chickens for the year so I don't need it right now. I added shells and pretty rocks.
