About this model

Hello! I designed this bee watering station. The idea is simple - provide a nice place where bees can collect water for their pollenation, feeding, and hive-keeping chores. The feeder requires a "wide mouth" mason jar as water container. I used a Ball wide mouth jar with an outside diameter of 3 3/8" (86mm). In my yard I keep blue orchard bees (BOBs) and green orchard bees (GOBs), both of which need ready sources of water and dirt to make mud walls protecting their eggs. Their little homes and this freshwater bath are the least I can offer them for helpfully pollinating my garden! NOTE: Do not print with PLA if you plan to use this in a location with direct sunlight exposure; the PLA will deform from the sun's heat alone. This is a single piece print that needs no supports or rafts. Enjoy!…
