Water Wherever You Find It

Today was a beautiful, sunny spring-like day with temps in the low 50's. We were standing by the corner of the front porch enjoying watching the orientation flights around the OV hive when we noticed a bee on the paving stones at our feet. Those resourceful bees were taking water that had dripped down from porch gutter. We placed a shallow birdbath nearby and filled it with water. I attempted to relocate one of the drinking bees to the rim but it was airborne as soon as I let go, zooming around me before heading back to the hive. I could have sat and watched these bees all afternoon, but I had hive bodies to put together so back to work for me.
