In this brief instructional video, Laurence Edwards demonstrates a simple, safe method for providing water to bees. He shows an upturned tank weighted with a porous breeze block, which allows bees to sip water through the block’s tiny gaps. Edwards notes that while bees typically locate water on their own, this setup is especially attractive to them and eliminates any risk of drowning because the water is accessed via the block’s pores. The video emphasizes the practicality and safety of the method for beekeepers looking to supplement natural water sources.
