This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Animal Care.

In this Badge Bit you will make a bee/insect watering station.



Here are some articles on making bee and insect watering stations:
 - DIY Bee Watering Station
 - How to Make a Bee Watering Station
 - Bee and Butterfly Waterer

Here are some nice videos on making bee and insect watering stations.

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 mins):
 - the materials for the watering station
 - the watering station under construction
 - the completed bee/insect watering station with water
