Water bottle feed experiment

Temps have been into the 30’s here in Ontario for a while now and the water sources are drying up.
Has anyone tried this (see pic)? A bottle of water with a cloth jammed tightly through the top. I’m hoping the wicking will be enough for the bees to suck on.

That should work Phil, I used a 10 litre bucket with a towel to ‘wick up’ the water and the bees landed on the wet towel to drink the water.
