Designed for Safety and Comfort
Ideal for Bees and Butterflies
Finding a safe water source can be dangerous for bees and butterflies, as they cannot swim. The Bee & Butterfly Drinking Flower addresses this issue with a thoughtfully designed structure:
- Flower’s Center Rim: Provides an ideal perch for butterflies.
- Upturned Petals: Creates a shallow water-pooling area, perfect for bees.
- Opening: Measures about 2″W with an internal depth of approximately 1.5″.
Multi-functional Use
This versatile puddler can also serve as a reliable water source for small animals. To ensure safety and cleanliness, keep the puddler full and change the water periodically to prevent stagnation. Alternatively, you can place butterfly nectar in the center instead of water.
