>I've heard  "Drain the pool for a week or two and supply a closer water
source" works but haven't tried it myself. Just my 2 cent idea.

You *are* kidding -- Right?

No, I'm not kidding. That's what I was told works. I haven't tried it and don't know if all bees cooperate. They seem to stay with one source of water so if it's taken away they'll find another. Once they get attached to it, it makes sense that they would stay with it. Of course, that doesn't mean it makes sense to the bees since they seem to have a mind of their own.
