POOLS & BEES // Let’s chat about honeybees and swimming pools for a moment.
Yes - in the absence of a constant water source nearby - bees can find their way to swimming pools. Especially salt water pools. How do we know? First hand experience from our salt water pool.
With many of our hives a mere 100 metres away from our pool, we’ve had to deal with this in the past. The bad news is that once a bee has discovered your pool, they are likely to continue visiting. The good news is there are many things you can do to keep bees off your pool. We’ve been bee-free at our pool since we implemented a few simple strategies. Here’s how we did it:
1. We set up a ‘bee pond’ made out of a cattle stock tank (160G) and filled it with loads of aquatic plants for the bees to safely land. It’s now the main watering hole our bees visit all season long.
2. Locate the new water source in the opposite direction from the pool, so the bees are heading for water away from the pool.
3. Set a hose/sprinkler on a timer to run for an hour or so each day. Ideally near the hives. Early morning and the late afternoon are best. Assuming your sprinkler is running every day, bees will become accustomed to the drink. Again location is key - choose the opposite direction from the hives. Bonus - your gardens will benefit!
4. Don’t leave your unicorn floaty or any pool toys in the pool. They make a perfect landing spot for the bees.
5. Store your pool toys away. Leaving goggles or other salt water soaked pool items on the deck can be an attractant.
6. Convert your bird baths into bee baths by adding some decorative stones for the bees to safely land.
It is possible to coexist with bees and a pool. A little planning is needed each Spring to get the bees on an alternate water source before they find the pool. Keep your alternate water sources replenished so they don’t dry out. And ideally located in the opposite direction to the pool.
Meanwhile, after a long day in the field caring for our bees, Jeff bolts from the truck into the pool.
