Re: [BEE-L] Spiking bee water (WAS: Bee Hearty!)

Bee were hitting my concrete birdbath 20' from the hives with only moderate
success. One day I left my leaky garden hose sprayer on the concrete paver
front walk. Bees were on it like white on rice. My water is deep well water
so very few minerals other than what was leeched from the concrete. Same
bees seem to love the dirty water in my potted plants too. Call me crazy,
but I think the bees perceive the danger of deeper water.
