Water Fountain for Bees. a glass jar or a bottle, filled with water and then covered with open muslin tied over the jar mouih, is inverted on the stage the grooves fill with water and afford the bees dry stand- ing ground while drinking. A V-shaped channel cut across the grooves (not shown in cut) allows the water to flow into all the channels without flowing over the edges.
