These bees took a break from their busy honey making day to grab a sip of water from the fountain during the heatwave.

The clip, filmed July 17 in North Carolina, shows the moment the bees swarm around the fountain desperate to get a drink to combat the hot weather.

“Even bees need a drink of water on a hot summer day. This swarm of bees lined up to take a sip of water from a garden fountain during a heatwave,” the filmer known as ‘Didismom’ told Newsflare.
