When you’re ready to take a refreshing dip at the end of a long day, bees buzzing around the pool can be an unwelcome nuisance. While many homeowners recognize that bees are beneficial and a boon to their gardens, it’s understandable not to want stinging insects in areas meant for relaxation. So why do bees hang around pools in the first place? As for any living thing, bees need water to survive, and in hot weather, bees use water to cool their hives and thin their honey when necessary. When no other sources are available, they may seek out pools to access water.

Fortunately, there are a variety of methods for getting rid of bees without harming them. These include creating an alternative watering station, choosing less-appealing colors and flowers, and using bee deterrents. If bees truly aren’t getting the hint, you may need to have a bee removal service relocate the hive. Knowing how to keep bees away from a pool can protect the bee population, prevent you from getting stung, and make your pool experience much more enjoyable.
