"As a beekeeper myself, I strongly urge people not to leave out things like fruit for bees. When fruit sits in the sun or shade, it quickly starts growing harmful bacteria that are not beneficial to bees.
🐝🐝🐝If they collect this contaminated food and bring it back to the hive, it can damage their stored honey and potentially harm the entire colony. If you truly want to help bees, the best thing you can do is set up watering stations for them.
Simply place a shallow dish of water with small rocks or sticks inside to provide safe landing spots, preventing them from drowning.
🐝🐝🐝 To make the water even more beneficial, you can add a pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt. This type of salt contains the highest concentration of minerals that bees prefer and need. They use these essential minerals to help regulate their hive’s internal temperature, keeping it at a constant 90°F, which is crucial for honey production and caring for their young.
🐝🐝🐝 However, please do not feed bees directly—beekeepers strongly discourage this practice. Bees thrive best when they gather their own food from natural sources, which helps maintain their immune systems and overall health. By providing clean, safe water with valuable minerals, you can support bees in a way that truly benefits them and the environment!
