Water for Bees

 A couple days ago as I was walking to the park to do my exercises, I saw this at the base of a lamp post...


First I noticed the sign, then the plastic containers with water, and then I saw that a swarm of bees was making a hive.




The sign said, "Water for the bees.  Don't throw it out and don't let your doggie pee here." 


The person who did this certainly had good intentions, but I'm not sure that it was a good idea.  There were a couple of dead bees that had drowned in the water.



The next day as I passed by the sign was gone and the containers were empty.



There was also a yellow hazard tape blocking the sidewalk by the lamp post.  But when I returned later in the day to take a photo, someone had ripped it down.



The bees, however, are still there.  I think they are actually building their hive inside the base of the post.  I saw some go inside through a crack.



It's going to be a problem today because every Thursday a "tianguis" (an outdoor market) is set up along the sidewalk here.
