>Other than getting the bees out of there, is there anything I can do?
Good luck David : (
I've experimented with every sort of attractant and deterrent.
The most attractive is a bathtub-sized pool, filled by a drip, and planted
with mud and water hyacinths.
That said, once your water foragers have imprinted on their pool, it's
difficult to lure them away.
Netting for a couple of weeks helps, since they must learn another water
source, and new foragers will imprint on that source. But swimming pool
dribbles on concrete or other structures are extremely attractive.
