Bee Cups™ for Thirsty Pollinators

Bee cups™ watering stations are handmade porcelain cups for your garden that collect a teaspoon of water for thirsty pollinators.

Each watering station is made from hand-colored porcelain with color variations intentionally added to each batch. They are heated to over 2200 degrees Fahrenheit in a kiln. Because of this production process, they are 100% light safe and will never fade. They will not leach chemicals into the soil or water and contain ZERO plastics.

What are customers saying?

“The bees in my bee hive love them. They are able to get a drink gathering pollen nectar and head straight back. I put one set close to hive and one with pots. Hope to buy more.” - Wanda S

“My kids love to fill them up everyday! And it has helped them not be so afraid of bees!” -Candra P

Bee Cups™ Have Bee Vision Technology

Bees cannot see the color red. Instead, they see ultraviolet colors. Flowers use ultraviolet colors and bullseye patterns to attract pollinators. The Bee Cups™ studio invented UV-reactive Bee Vision glazes that make our cups look more like flowers to bees. Bee Vision glazes glow pink to pollinators but are clear to humans unless we use a blacklight. We now have several colors of Bee Vision Bee cups with this unique ceramic glaze.

Which pollinators use Bee Cups™?

The simple answer is the thirsty ones! Native bees and honey bees use the bee cups, as well as butterflies, and lady bugs. We have even had reports of hummingbirds and small mammals getting a drink.

Bee Nurseries™ for Native Bees

Native Bees are our original pollinators in North America. These bees don’t live in hives. Instead many nest in stems or tubes. Providing clean, safe nesting materials is a great way to help our native bees. Bee Cups™ makes porcelain nesting tubes which are better than bamboo bee hotels because they can be sterilized after the bees emerge.

At Bee Cups we use innovative processes to close the waste cycle. All of the cracked or unusable Bee Cups are crushed and tumbled. We sell this back to the customers as cover for their potted plants or beds. Our team has lovingly named this “Pollen”. The pollen has bits of crushed glaze in it so pollinators also love it!
