Bee Waterer – Safe Water Station for Bees

🐝 Bee Waterer – Safe Water Station for Bees

A simple way to provide water for bees

Bees need access to water, especially during hot summer weather. Water is important for cooling the hive and supporting the colony. However, an ordinary container filled with water can be dangerous because bees may fall into the water and drown.

The Bee Waterer is a simple 3D-printable watering station designed to provide bees with an accessible water source together with a safe landing area.

The main advantage is its use of a standard plastic PET bottle as the water reservoir. No special container is required. Simply fill a suitable bottle with clean water and screw it into the printed water station.

♻ Give a PET bottle a second life

One of the ideas behind this project is simplicity and reuse.

Instead of throwing away a suitable PET bottle, you can turn it into a practical water reservoir for bees. The printed part can be reused repeatedly, while the bottle can be easily removed, cleaned or replaced.
