That's good Mikey.  Better than a neighbor's kiddie pool.  My bees focused on my birdbath for many years in a row.  I accidentally let it go dry once last January or February.  Now my neighbor tells me they were finding a gap in his hot tub and drowning.

mine too. funny thing is that I have a ceramic coated birdbath that they now mostly ignore. when a friend moved recently he gave me an older concrete one & they are steady on it. in past years they used the ceramic one regularly.

That's a plastic bird bath with stones set in it.
