- Placement: Place the spoon or cap outside your door, shielded from wind and rain to ensure the mixture remains intact.
The Lifesaving Impact Why put a sugar-water mixture in your garden? This seemingly simple concoction is a crucial energy booster for bees and bumblebees. These insects often find themselves too weak to return to their hives after long outings. By ingesting the sugar water, they can recover enough strength to continue their vital role in pollination.
Ongoing Care To maintain this mini-refuge for bees, remember to replace the sugar-water mixture every three to four days. This practice not only supports our bee population but also contributes to broader environmental health.
By integrating this small gesture into your nightly routine, you can play an important part in supporting our ecosystem and ensuring the survival of bees, essential pollinators in our environment.
