save the pollinators
leave some water out with like, stones in it (big enough to be above water) so bees can get some water safely in these hot days.

@lyncia how do I make sure only pollinators and not mosquitoes trying to lay eggs get access to the standing water
If I were doing this personally I would drag it into the woods behind our house a few hundred feet and check on it daily to make sure there are no mosquito larvae
@lyncia oh, thank you I didn’t think to put stones in my birdbath, the little bees sit on the edge of it and dip their faces in the water. And if a bunch of it evaporates before I go out there to freshen it they crawl down into the bowl it’s adorable.
I’ve only seen one Bluejay at my birdbath this whole time, but I go out and change the water twice a day because every time I go out there bees are in it. It’s been 90° here for weeks. I’m happy I can help them.
