Please create a safe platforms for the bees to drink this can simply be done my adding pebbles or sticks to a bird bath.
Remember a beekeeper must give your bees access to water. If bees have no water they can suffer even die. Bees like to feel safe while they are drinking . Bees find water in a number of places including damp rocks, branches, muddy puddles, pond edges, irrigation hoses. They swallow the water before flying home. The water is transferred to the waiting in-hive workers through the process of trophallaxis—the direct transfer from one bee to another.Bees don’t store water, but bring it in as needed.
In the heat of summer it is used for evaporative cooling. The water is spread in a thin film atop sealed brood or on the rims of cells containing larvae and eggs. The in-hive workers then fan vigorously, setting up air currents which evaporate the water and cool the interior of the hive. The process is similar to the human-designed air conditioner.Nurse bees, who feed the developing larvae, also have a high demand for water. The nurses consume large amounts of pollen, nectar, and water so that their hypopharyngeal glands can produce the royal jelly that is used to feed the larvae and the queen. Beekeepers must provide a source of water. Bees seem to prefer water that has some growth in it—such as green slime that contains nutrients —rather than perfectly clean water.
