Five-Step Setup
- Select your dish – Any shallow, stable container works.
- Add a layer of marbles or stones – Bright colors double as a pollinator beacon.
- Pour water just below the marble tops – Bees perch safely; no swimming required.
- Place near flowering plants – Morning sun on a table, stump, or raised ledge is perfect.
- Maintain – Replenish with clean water; bring inside if a freeze is forecast.
Why Gardeners—Especially Seniors—Love This Project

Watching bees pause for a sip becomes a regular reminder that tiny kindnesses ripple outward—to better blooms, happier pollinators, and a more vibrant backyard ecology. So grab a dish, scatter some marbles, add water, and place your new bee bar outside. Within days you’ll observe small guests thanking you—one soft landing at a time.
