Bees vs. Pool.....

[Candiebears]

We have a salt water pool, and the girls love going for a swim. My husband goes out just about every hour to scoop the skinny dippers out, but I dont know how to get them to go to another water supply. I have 2 other water supplies they don't seem to care for.

Suggestions?

Do they prefer running water? I noticed when the filters on they're all over!

One way is to put a fence between them and the pool, to try to redirect them. In my experance that works about 10% of the time (just made up that number.)

You can put a kitty pool closer to the hives, that has worked for my but then I get deer drinking from it also.

If you do not mind the bees visiting the pool, I would put a float in so the bees do not drown.  -Mike
