Algonam,
Just don't let the bees rule you, or you'll be like us and set up two bird baths and also two fish ponds with fish to keep the mozzies away and a bathtub to grow plants for the fish, and travel hundreds of kilometres for water lilies as landing strips for the stripey darlings so they can stand effortlessly and drink all their fill, as well as ensuring all the animal water dishes are topped up regularly in case one desires an alternative water supply, and of course do regular maintenance on all the bores and windmills on the chance one might fail and our princesses thirst for a short while, and pay rates for the above to the water board who is, as you know, also striving around the clock to ensure a safe and continuous water stream just so our winged friends may be Happy and Content, which, as we all realise, makes all of us Happy and Content.
By the way, they drink from one of the fishponds and hang on to the rough concrete sides....but I have seen other varieties of insect utilise the water lily scheme, so they are not wasted.
