pools and bees?

Question

I have pool and the filter has a small leak. The water seems to attract bees... Does anyone know why bees would be attracted to the water that leaks out? Because I would like to know how to stop them from showing there little faces. They stung my girlfriend.

no she didn't swat them i was right there
shouldnt the chlorine turn them away from it?
there are plenty of other water sources in the area

Answer 1

Bees need water just like other creatures. Your pool is apparently providing a good source. If you're going to blame someone for your girlfriend getting stung, blame yourself. The bees didn't foul up the filter, or fail to get it fixed - you did - the bees are just being bees.

Answer 2

Try putting out a shallow bowl of water and maybe the bees will go to it instead of the pool. Also, bees don't sting for no reason. Something happened to make that bee sting whether you realize it or not.

Answer 3

hmm, if you should listening to the first person what she just told you . if you have a bees problems that there might have a bee have some where closer by in youre area and backyards then i think it better not to wear shorts sleeve shirts then or you can call the pest control have them come out to search for any bees haves any where outside of youre house they can takecare of it. but might cost you some money to have somebody come do the job for u .

Answer 4

Bee just don't sting someone she must have swatted at them.

Answer 5

Answer 6
