Create a Bee Watering Station With Marbles
A Simple Way to Help Thirsty Pollinators
Bees need water to stay cool and energized, especially on hot days. But safe water sources
are often hard to find. Creating a bee watering station with marbles is a fun, simple way to help—and it adds charm to your garden.
What You Need
Grab a shallow bowl or plate and a handful of marbles (any colors or sizes). Place the marbles in the bowl
and add just enough water so they aren’t fully submerged. The marbles give bees a safe place to land and drink without the risk of drowning.
Where to Place It
Set the bowl in a sunny spot near flowering plants where bees already gather. This makes it easy for them to find.
Care and Enjoyment
Check the water daily and refill as needed. In colder months, bring the bowl inside to prevent freezing.
You’ll soon see bees—and maybe butterflies and ladybugs—stopping by for a drink.
Spread the Buzz
Your small act can inspire others to support pollinators too. With just a few simple items, you’re creating a life-saving oasis and helping nature thrive.
