Add water: Stir in water until the spoonful contains two-thirds sugar and one-third water.
Placement: Place a spoon or cap outside your door, sheltered from wind and rain, to ensure the mixture remains intact.
Life-saving effect Why add a water and sugar mixture to your garden? This seemingly simple preparation is a vital energy boost for honeybees and bumblebees. These insects are often too weak to return to their hives after their long journeys. By absorbing the sugar water, plants can regain enough strength to continue their important role in pollination.
Ongoing Maintenance To maintain this miniature bee house, be sure to change the water and sugar mixture every three to four days. This practice not only supports the bee population, but also contributes to the overall health of the environment.
If you make this small gesture part of your evening routine, you can play an important role in supporting our ecosystem and ensuring the survival of bees – important pollinators in our environment.
