🐝 Did you know that bees and other pollinators get incredibly thirsty during hot weather?

Help our buzzing friends stay hydrated during this heatwave! ☀️🌡️

Creating a DIY Bee Bath (or "Bee Bar") is one of the easiest, cutest, and most affordable ways to save the bees this summer!

Here is how you can make one in just minutes using things you already have at home:

🌸 How to Make Your DIY Bee Bath:

Grab a shallow dish: An old terracotta plant saucer, a shallow bowl, or even a jar lid works perfectly!

Add landing spots: Fill the bottom with rocks, pebbles, twigs, or glass marbles. These give the bees a dry, safe place to land so they don’t slip into the water.

Add water: Pour in fresh water, but make sure the tops of the rocks or marbles stay above the waterline so they act as "life rafts."

Place it perfectly: Put your bee bath in a quiet, partly shady spot in your garden—ideally right near some blooming flowers!

Pro-Tip: Refresh the water daily to keep it clean and prevent mosquitoes from moving in.

Grab the kids or spend a quiet weekend afternoon crafting this simple lifesaver for your local pollinators! 👇

We recently took time out to visit Dáil Éireann as guests of our local TD Aisling Dempsey.
We had a great time and appreciate her time and interest in our work.
Many thanks to lily, who organised the day and Joe at the Darnley who took great care of us on our return
