Making a butterfly puddler/bee bath is very simple. A shallow dish and colorful rocks/marbles is all that is needed to help hydrate our pollinators. Keep the water below the rocks and marbles, so the pollinators don't drown. You want to be sure to keep your dish raised off of the ground to keep other insects and animals from drinking from it. Remember to frequently clean the bath to maintain a healthy water supply.
You can even use a tomato cage and place a plant saucer on top to create a drinking spot.
Here is a tutorial for creating a bee bath for under $10
Bee nice!
