Redneck Swimming Pool or Bee Waterer


So my bees are thirsty.  They are all over the swimming pool toys so they can land and get a bit of water without drowning.  I went out to the bee yard and put a chicken waterer out there, which is supposedly the bee water method of choice.  Not my bees, heck no.  They only drink off of water guns and floaties.  So I've put out a big bucket with some bee toys in the yard.  Let's see if I can retrain them to drink from their own pool!


The full bee yard.  10 hives.  I have 2 that are struggling, the others are doing very well.  Still have two more at moms.  I'll be looking for places near Ursa Il to put additional hives.  Anyone need pollination for your crops?
