Bee dehydration is a serious problem. Why not design a water feeder just for the bees?
Some of the design challenges:
-standing water causes mosquitos
-bees can drown in water that's even a cm deep, ideally the feeder should reproduce dew drop like conditions
-if too many other things trigger the feeder it will waste water or be empty
It could be as simple as a runway that the bee lands on, then after walking through a tunnel there are a few drops of water to drink.
