I use a rectangular plastic container about 6" deep 16" long and 14" wide.
Into this I put a concrete block, which is very porous, and fill with water
the bees land on the block and walk down to a damp spot and drink. If no
animals are present, add a little salt to the water. You won't be able to
do anything about the bees that are already addicted to your neighbors pool
but they will die off within a few weeks this time of year.
