On a hot afternoon???? They hang out at the water's edge of course!
Take a walk to the pond on any given hot afternoon, and you will be aware of a constant vibration....the buzzing of hundreds of bees as they visit the water's edge for a refreshing drink.

It is important when raising honeybees that you have a good supply of fresh water for them to drink. In our case, a spring-fed pond serves this purpose quite nicely. Luckily, the bees don't bother the dogs, as they, too, stop by the pond to cool off.

As for the bees,,,I feel so guilty,,,I had a container (w/a narrow opening) filled w/water...the bees flew in but couldn't figure out how to get out & sadly had a massive drowing of bees! so...lesson learned, don't leave any containers w/water sitting out.
Tons of Bumblers & fat too!
not as many Mason or Honey bees around yet,,,but then we have had such glummy rainy weather lately.
Send me some of your extra bees...
hugz & 12 days & counting...wahoo!
We drove down rt. 222 in Berks County when we visited PA and there were so many old farms. I loved it. I wish I could move there.
Hope you can stop by my blog when you have a chance.
