Hello,
I've been asked what can be done about bees being drawn to floodlights at
an industrial site. The area is a bee heaven, lots of plants, lots of water
and the complex is large. At night, the workers have to pass by a set of
floodlamps that are drawing bees in and a few are being stung.

Other than finding the hive and shielding it from the light or hooding the
floodlight, is there any other method that would not attract bees? Any
special lights?

Howard
