Pollinators get thirsty just like we do, but it is often risky for them to drink from large bodies of water. Hobbits know a thing or two about the dangers of the &#8220;big&#8221; world, so why not lend a helping hand by making a safe place for them to rest and hydrate? Bee baths are simple to make and so rewarding once they (finally) start bee-ing used! (Okay, I&#8217;ll stop with the puns now!) <br><br>This effort is not entirely altruistic. Without pollinators, our food security collapses, and that is a thought that should terrify everyone, not just hobbits! So click on the video below to join Kili as she shows you how easy it is to make an insect-friendly watering hole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player lazyload\" width=\"1170\" height=\"659\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/guk9kEijguw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy Hobbit has brought Middle-earth to its viewers&#8217; daily lives since joining TheOneRing.net in 2012! <gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw>Learn hobbity recipes, crafts, and more by watching new episodes and\/or perusing the 10+ years worth of videos on their YouTube channel. \ud83c\udf3b Be sure you are subscribed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/TORnHappyHobbit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>Happy Hobbit<\/strong><\/a> on YouTube and check back here at TheOneRing.net so that you don&#8217;t miss out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get even more slow-living hobbit content by following Happy Hobbit on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thehappyhobbits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a>,<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HappyHobbitOfficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Facebook<\/a><\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/happyhobbit1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@happy_hobbit_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>TikTok<\/strong><\/a>!
