We have a problem with (our) bees going about 200 feet across a wooded area
& road to a neighbour's swimming pool. The neighbour puts salt in his pool,
not chlorine and some of the salt crystallizes around the rim of the pool.
The bees sit on the cover and go down the crack after this salt, not the
water. Needless to say the neighbours are not impressed and we are
concerned. Fresh water is always available for our bees and they do use it.
Any suggestions and/or explanations would be appreciated.
