If you do buy a beehive, make sure you don't confine the bees to your
greenhouse, otherwise when you can't provide local pollen and nectar the
bees will starve. They need to be able to scour the neighbourhood to
collect water, too, at those times when you forget to replenish a source.


Would suggest a source of water too. Bees need water and if they find it, allow them to settle
amd drink.from a shallow bowl.



The bees will be perfectly happy to sip moisture off the wet plants and
drips off his watering system.
