I have a situation. I’ve got an apiary of about 18 hives and the neighbor has put in an above ground pool. We are having a hot, dry August here in Philly and the pool has frequently been unusable due to the many, many bees foraging for water.

Other than getting the bees out of there, is there anything I can do? 

I have put out buckets of water, and I’m going to try to improve on that, but I’m afraid I can’t really compete with a 20 ft diameter pool.

The bees are really all over their ladder, maybe I can compete with that.

I don’t know much about water foraging. Any advice or insight would be much appreciated..
