These are GREAT!

There’s A Genius Street Artist Running Loose In The Streets, And Let’s Hope Nobody Catches Him (30+ New Pics) Tom Bob refuses to simply live in the world. He's reshaping it. Creating clever street art on common objects in the urban landscape, he's perfectly personalizing his boring surroundings.

Who else? .... come on, own up!

Now this is interesting.

Imagine how hard just one bee works in a single day. Bees tend to at least 2,000 flowers daily, with tiny wings beating 10,000 times per minute, carrying pollen, and dramatically assisting our food supply.It's exhausting work and bees get thirsty, just like us and need safe water sources. The problem is water is not always available. Especially so in summer.

Bees need very shallow water to drink from. However, shallow water evaporates quickly. Birdbaths are not the best option as bees tend to drown if the water is not shallow enough. As for river and lakes, bees risk their lives trying to get water in the presence of fishes, frogs, and other wildlife, not to mention the risk of being swept away in water currents.

To help hydrate our little pollinators, set up a water feeder by filling a shallow dish with marbles and then water. The marbles give the bees a spot to land so that they don’t drown when they come to drink.

Off to Chinchilla for a fun day with my garden friends tomorrow
