Buy Bee Rafts online and give bees a safe place to drink. The Lotus Flower Bee Raft is a decorative floating platform designed to help bees drink safely from birdbaths, fountains, ponds, pools, and garden water sources without drowning.
Why Buy Bee Rafts for Birdbaths and Garden Water Sources?
Bees are surprisingly poor swimmers. When they land on the edge of a birdbath or dip too close to a fountain, they often fall in and can’t get back out. Without a safe landing pad, thousands of bees drown in backyard water features every spring and summer. A Bee Raft solves this with a simple, stable surface bees can land on, drink from, and safely take off again.

Where Can You Use a Bee Raft?
The Lotus Flower Bee Raft is designed for smaller outdoor water sources where bees and other pollinators may stop for a drink. It can float in birdbaths, decorative fountains, garden ponds, buckets, rain barrels and similar backyard water features. Simply place the Bee Raft on the surface of the water and allow it to float naturally.
Why Use a Floating Landing Platform?
Bees need water, but smooth-sided containers and open water can make it difficult for them to climb back out after landing. A floating Bee Raft provides a visible landing surface where bees can rest while accessing the surrounding water.
Is the Small Bee Raft for Swimming Pools?
No. The small Lotus Flower Bee Raft is not recommended for swimming pools because it can be pulled toward the skimmer and become trapped in the filter basket. It is better suited to birdbaths, fountains, ponds and smaller garden water features.
A Simple Addition to a Pollinator-Friendly Yard
If you already provide flowering plants, shelter and water for pollinators, a Bee Raft adds another practical element to your garden. The decorative lotus design blends naturally into backyard water features while creating an accessible floating landing place.
Choosing the Right Water Location
Place your Lotus Flower Bee Raft in a calm water source where bees already visit or are likely to find water. Birdbaths, decorative fountains, garden ponds, buckets and similar backyard water features are good locations. Avoid placing it where strong pumps, waterfalls or currents constantly push it around.
Keep the surrounding water reasonably clean and check the Bee Raft periodically for leaves or debris. Because it floats freely, you can easily move it to another water feature whenever needed.
If you buy bee rafts for several areas around your yard, placing them near flowering plants can create convenient watering locations for visiting pollinators throughout your garden.
