Drinking bowl for jar

Drinking bowl for jar

One of the necessary factors for maintaining the livelihoods of bees is the constant access of insects to water. To ensure that the bees do not have to search for water on their own, every apiary should have drinking bowls.

Application of drinkers under the can

To use the drinker, pour water into a regular glass jar. A drinking bowl is placed on its neck, after which the jar is turned over with a sink. The water from the jar to the drinking bowl will pass in the required amount through a small hole.

Such drinkers are safe for bees, as they have a float with holes that will provide bees with free access to water without risking the life of insects.

How much to pour water and what size banks to use, solve the beekeeper. However, it is not advisable to take large cans with the aim that there is a lot of liquid placed there and it will need to be topped up less often. Water can stagnate and the bees will not take it.
In addition, it is recommended to place the drinker in the shade so that the water does not heat up.
