How to get rid of honeybees in my pond, waterfall or pool
In warm dry seasons of the year you may notice heavy honeybee activity around your pool or water sources, this can become very frustrating for a home owner. Honey bees need water to make honey, bees prefer natural peaceful locations, but in hot months were some of these resources have dried up bees will seek out other havens. If you need to get rid of honey bees in this case, you have a few choices. One option for getting rid of the bee coming to the swimming pool, or water source is to temporarily drain or empty the water source, forcing the bees to find a new location and breaking their flight pattern. After a week or two, refill or turn the water back on.
If you cannot empty water in the pool, fountain, pond, or other source, you may choose to add vinegar to it. If it is a small body of water and there are no fish or animals living in it, you may add vinegar to the water to get rid of the bees. This will cause a disagreeable taste and force the honeybees once again to find a new water source.
If you cannot drain the water source, and if adding vinegar to the water in the pool, pond, or other location is not an option, you can contact us, and we have options for getting rid of the bees. We track and remove the bee nest where the bees are located and are taking over your water source. Call our bee hotline, or Request Service Online, to date we've never failed in locating and removing bees that have taken over a water source.

dimarah | How much vinegar do I need for a 15x4 ft. Swimming pool? Is white vinegar or apple cedar vinegar? Thanks! | |||

sharline fields | my mom has a problem with honey bees getting in her cats pans of water,shes needing to know what to do about it,thank you so very much | |||
Beekeeper: Hi Sharline,
Try moving the bowls to a different spot at least 25 feet away from their current spot. The bees remember where to go to, so if you move the location, they will have to try and find it again. So when you move the water, make a little cardboard box hut and put the pans of water under the shade of the box; this will make it hard for the bees to find.
The other option is to move the pans inside for a couple of days to break the bees' habit of coming to that spot, then you can put the water back out.
Good luck! | ||||
adam Harris | I have a pool with a waterfall and I want to know how to get rid of the bees...I can't drain the pool and I cant put vinegar in ....what are some other options | |||
Beekeeper: Adam,
We usually get a lot of calls and inquiries about bees around ponds, pools, and waterfalls when it hasn't rained for some time in a particular area during warmer months.
Since it is still spring and not too hot, it is possible that there may be a bee hive nearby.
If the waterfall is the culprit, it may be a good idea to turn it off during the daytime when the bees might normally come around. This would likely also break their habit and force them to seek an alternative water source.
We do provide services for tracking down the location of the bee hive and removal of the hive, but they get expensive.
Good luck!

Alan | I tried all the suggestions above unsuccessfully. I live near apple and cherry orchards and have an 8x8 jacuzzi with a hard top, seamed down the middle. What I found that does work is buying a 25 foot roll of screen door material from Home Depot or Lowes and rolling it over the seam, double thickness. Bees do not go around the edges and after a few days they are gone, off to some one else' pool or spa. | |||
Beekeeper: Nice, that's a great idea, thanks for sharing that Alan. | ||||
