Obviously they will need to be cleaned up, sealed and painted. And ladders added for the bees. What is everyone’s thoughts?

Hi Robert, welcome to the forum.
It would be a great watering point. You wouldn’t even need to clean them, as long as there’s no poison in them. You wouldn’t need ladders, just rocks that protrude above the waterline.
I have bathtubs with Chinese water chestnuts growing in them. Bees love to use the plants to stand on while drinking. Having something growing in water might be a good idea for you.

Cheers. Yeah I was thinking some type of water plant as a bee float for them.

Unrelated topic, @JeffH, I just seen another post of your dragon fruit and I am quite jealous of your efforts. I can only dream of producing some like that.

Thanks Robert. I see on Gardening Australia some stuff that grows down your way that we can’t grow up here. Cherries, apples & stone fruit for example.
Just thinking: dragonfruit might grow well in hot houses.
