10. What do I do if bees are coming to my swimming pool or pond for water? Bees need water for 2 reasons. 1. Honey is a very concentrated food and if it granulates adding water will melt or soften the honey so it can be fed to baby bees. 2. In the summer, bees use water to keep the hive cool. Bees will gather water and place droplets around the hive then fan the water to help it evaporate like a swamp cooler cools your home. If you have a problem with honey bees at your pond or pool we may be able to track the bees back to the source and notify the owner of the property about the hive so it can be killed. |
