This link shows the design of an easy to make bee yard feeders. All that is required is a 5 gallon (with lid) and a hand drill. If you don't have a clean pail a food grade pail can be bought at Menard's, Lowe's, Fleet Farm, etc. for under $5.
Gerard made the comment that this feeder could also be used as a water source during dry spells.

Looks like a great idea for a summer water station as well. White bucket in a shady spot and change the water often.
