Has anyone had issues with honey bees swarming their birdbath?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:My bro-in-law keeps 17 hives and is single-handedly devoted to protecting and preserving the honey bees in our area. He had several birdbaths designed just for the bees, with little rocks and sticks just like you. The roofers will probably vote you MVP. I certainly would. Did you know that the first food supply in the spring for the honey bees are the dandelions? I just learned this.
