I decided to create a YouTube channel since so many of you have asked about our bees [emoji219]. My warning to you is that we are literally buzzing by the seat of our pants. Watch and Subscribe as we make all the mistakes in beekeeping.

In to learn. It’s on my list of things to start in the next year.
Look forward to seeing the progress. -

Most honey bees will just drink and move on. They don’t want to sting unless provoked. Wasp WANT to sting because they are certified Jerks.Comment

No doubt about the wasps, but we dont have them. Its the boys swatting at the bees when they get close and there is hundreds of them. My oldest is allergic to bee stings so we've had to abandon the pool lately.

If you have a good relationship you could see if he has water for them and offer the idea. It still won’t keep them away but it may help.
