How do bees drink? I know that sounds like a stupid question, but I am building a very small pond near where our hives will go, and I need advice on what they need.
In my butterfly garden I keep plates of damp mud, because butterflies suck water out of the edges of ponds and out of muddy places, they don't drink directly out of open water. Do bees need damp earth around to drink from, or do they need open water, like in small ponds or bird baths?
