Re: Bees going to saly water
 
Where I live in Southern Maryland USA, there is a pond that backs up to the
Potomac River.
The water has tested 6 parts per thousand salt.  The bees are there on a
regular basis, at the edge of the water during the season when they are
flying.  I tried putting fresh water out right in front of
hives and they never even looked at it.
