Bees

[wired]

I have a papyrus plant by a water feature, the papyrus is in a double pot, the outer one is full of water. For several weeks now bees have been to the roots of the plant, heads down bottoms up and waggling. There's a dozen or so bees, does anyone know what they're doing?
thanks ,wired

Drinking probably.

Maybe this is the reason?...

You have inadvertently provided them with a safe place to imbibe and you deserve a pat on the back!!
Well done - Chip.

Thanks all of you, hadn't realised it was that simple, we try to keep lots of insect loving plants and different watering holes for birds etc, really happy to know we have a bee specific bar.
