What Makes It Uncommon

Fun fact: Bees can’t see all the colors that humans can. Funner fact: Bees can see ultraviolet shades that humans need a black light to make visible. Jen Rose uses this buzz-worthy science to make sure our mighty pollinators stay hydrated on their high-flying adventures.

  • Give your backyard or deck garden a pit stop for bees and butterflies with a set of 5 tiny handmade ceramic cups that mimic the look of flowers.
  • Tap into the bees’ ability to see ultraviolet hues with either the Bold Set with Bee Vision, featuring vibrantly dyed porcelain, or the Bee Vision Set, which boasts a more subtle color scheme. Although the glaze looks clear to human eyes, the little winged wonders see intense pink and purple.
  • Each cup holds a teaspoon of water that will last for as little as 30 minutes or up to 12 hours, depending on humidity.
  • To use, place the pointed end directly in the dirt in an area near plants but not covered by foliage. Cups are dishwasher-safe.
  • Made in Texas.

?I consider myself a professional artist and an amateur scientist,? says ceramicist Jen Rose. With an MFA in ceramics from the University of Texas and 20 years of teaching in academia under her belt, she?s now dedicated full-time to her bee cups. Jen researched bee anatomy and behavior to design a beautiful, helpful product, formulating her own UV-reactive glaze so bees can see the small water collectors better. She works out of a large studio in West Dallas, employing many ceramics students.

This is a must-have for any native or pollinator gardener!

I purchased these bee drinking cups for a neighbor who just installed a pollinator garden. She loves the beautiful colors and has encouraged all her gardening friends to install a set in their own yards. We've even noticed a few remaining insects partaking of the water, even though it is January. The are an attractive addition to any garden, large or small.


Will buy more

I bought two sets of these bee drinking cups as Christmas gifts. Both recipients loved them. Now I need some for myself!


Can't wait for spring!

I love the bee cups, shared them with my sister who has a hive in her yard. Great idea!


Wonderful in every way

I love everything about these. The size, shape, colors, and texture. And the bees in my backyard also love them. I refill the water every morning and often see bees fliting around and finally settling in to drink.


Cute, but not very useful

I really love the idea of providing water for pollinators, but these don't help. The cups are so small that on a hot, sunny day the water evaporates in no time at all, leaving nothing for bees.

Response from merchant

Thank you for your review! We hear great feedback about this item and we're very sorry that bee cups have been a disappointment. Each cup holds a teaspoon of water that will last for as little as 30 minutes or up to 12 hours, depending on humidity. At Uncommon Goods, we have a Forever Return Policy! We've reached out to let you know the details!


Beautiful

Exactly as described and pictured! They broke in transit the first time and I was given a second one quickly. Looking forward to putting them in the ground this week and really hopeful they provide a place for pollinators to get water!


Great for anyone who cares about bees (and other bugs)

I bought these for a friend who is an avid gardener and she loves them and is excited to put them to use in her garden. They were well packed and I recieved them within a few days with standard shipping. I've decided to order some for myself.


Flower and a drink

Very pretty and sturdy. Would love to see the bees use them!


Very attractive item.

The bee cups were a gift for my daughter who lives in the desert in Arizona and has many bees in her area. She does put out water for the bees, and I think the cups attract the bees. I have not been to the area so I do not know if the bees are attracted to them.


Cute and Functional

These look great in their flowerpots, and the quality is heavy and sturdy. I love that they're coated in a glaze that the bees will see so they can stop by for a drink - great product and great idea! #sweepstakes
