I always put a saucer full of something sweet far away from our picnic site, especially up on Roan Mountain, TN. Roan Mountain State Park is just so lovely, we can't resist going there with a nice picnic.
This saucer diverts the bees from our drinks and food, because it is sweet and brightly colored like a flower. Thought this might be a good reminder about our bee friends and how they love to get into Coke cans and bottles ;)
Have a blessed evening!
