It's a Bar!


Our neighbour has acquired a hive of bees. It's sunny and quite dry. I've "activated" (as in "soaked") a block of coconut fibres in a plastic bucket a few days ago, to mix with soil for potting plants.




These three things, together, have resulted in this:







These are bees, probably mostly from the neighbour's hive, having a drink. Actually not only having a drink, but filling up with water to carry back to the hive, to liquify food, be able to digest pollen, and to cool down the hive if necessary.




Which means I've been watering the bee-bar every morning now - and I have the pleasure of lots and lots of bees keeping me company when I sit right outside the wintergarden, where the bucket stands, having a break!
