>>> ... set up the waving sprinkler where it would hit the hives (and determine if) it would be of some help ... run for about ½ hour a couple of times during the day. ... sprinkler worked better than I would have dreamed. There were only a couple of bees that visited the pool either day ...
At what volume did you run the water? Were the sprinklers set up to hit the front of the hive, side, or back?
Might work with a timer set in line with the hose to the sprinkler, set for duration and for frequency.
Thanks for the trial and report. Very interesting.
