Bees need water but can drown if it's too deep, so a bee bath helps them stay hydrated safely. You'll need terracotta pots, saucers, paint (puff or acrylic), Thompson Water Seal, marbles, and a glue gun or Gorilla Glue. Paint and seal the upside-down pots, glue them to saucers, and fill with marbles to create a safe drinking space for bees. This project not only helps the environment but also engages kids in a creative and educational way. Enjoy and share your ideas!

During my summer internship in East Seattle, Bellevue, I practically tried all the hotspots for dining and compiled a restaurant guide just for you. Save this quick, foodie friends! 😊 - Spanish cuisine at Castilla Restaurant and Bar: I've eaten here three times already, and haven't been disappointed yet! The Paella Mixta is a must-order 🥘—it's made fresh so expect a 30-minute wait, but it's totally worth it. The portions are generous; one paella plus 1-2 appetizers are enough for two people. The Octopus Stew is also quite good! - Thai food at Fern Thai on Main: This spot is all about big portions, great flavors, and a nice ambiance. Don’t miss the Duck Curry and Crab Fried Rice 🦀—both are stellar! - Sichuan cuisine at Tianfu Bellevue: I've been here four times this summer! The flavors are authentic and spicy 🌶️, so those who can't handle heat, beware. The Roasted Duck is in high demand; I once arrived late at noon and it was sold out. The Pig's Feet and Spicy Chicken with Bones are also hits. - Japanese dining at Ginza: Make sure to visit in the evening, as the lunch menu is limited. My favorite, the Pumpkin Fried Rice 🎃, is only available during dinner. Be cautious with the Ramen and Fried Pork Cutlet - they can be hit or miss. - For Japanese Katsu, head to Kobuta&Ookami: Strictly speaking, this is in Redmond. They specialize in Fried Pork Cutlet. The KATSU NABE is delicious, combining Sukiyaki-style cooking which makes the cutlet less greasy after soaking in the broth 🍲. - Italian at Carmine’s and Cantinetta Bellevue: These two restaurants are close to each other and have a nice atmosphere, perfect for date nights. Cantinetta offers handmade pasta which is decent, but overall, the taste and price at both places may not exactly match up—try if you're curious! - French cuisine at Bis on Main: The Crab Cake appetizer is fairly standard, but the main courses shine. The Risotto is fragrant, and the Duck Breast might taste a bit odd at first with its harder rice and strong wine-flavored sauce, but it gets more flavorful as you chew, especially when paired with orange 🍊—strangely delightful! Of course.
