How To Keep Your Bees Out of Your Neighbor's Pool

As an “urban” bee keeper it is very important to take steps to also be a good neighbor. Which means, sooner or later you will have to learn how to keep your bees out of your neighbor's pool.

Having bees can cause trouble in the neighborhood if your bees are constantly drowning in your neighbor’s pool, or trying to drink the sweat off of your neighbor’s neck while they are mowing.

This is a pretty common complaint, and one I had to deal with recently when a neighbor showed up on my doorstep one fine Saturday morning demanding I get my bees out of her bird bath.

I understand her concern, and assured her I would work on the matter. It is a simple fact that bees need access to fresh water. In the summer they literally work themselves to death flying millions of miles bringing nectar back to their hive.

If you do not provide the water, your bees will find their own supply (as seen in my sustainable system video). It does not have to be complicated; a bird bath will work as long as you have something in place for the bees to land on so that they do not drown in the water.
