I do produce as well as bees and I irrigate with spring water.  I have  
drop lines out and the bees cluster around the emitters.

When I used to run soaker hoses where water simply bled through the  
hose lining itself the bees covered the entire length of hosing.

It does not take a lot of pressure to run a simple drip line and if  
its humid and the water cold the entire line condenses, providing  
water the entire length of tubing.

Just something for consideration, both to foil the pool bees as well  
as a possible large scale and economical way of watering bees.
