Question by carademenzo: Why are bees attracted to my water fountain and not my swimming pool?
I used to have a bees’ nest in my backyard which we finally removed. The remover found about 7 queen bees. I used to find dead bees in my swimming pool all the time. Now, I only find an occasional bee in there. But now my water fountain, in the front yard, is swarming with bees. Probably about 20 live bees at the time and 10 dead ones in the water. The live ones seem to go in and out of the water. They seem to congregate on one side of the water fountain. I don’t see that they’re building anything and I’m curious why they’re around and what I can do to get rid of them.

water is fresh the pool have chlorine
It probably has something to do with the PH, of course there is going to be more chlorine in your pool than in a water fountain! And it could also be there is more pollen accumulated to the one side of the fountain… just try cleaning it with a baking soda solution and see if it helps.
Chlorine?
As everyone else has said, chlorine is a factor. Another factor is mud. If there is any mud or scum around your fountain, the bees will congregate there, I don’t know if they are finding food, or if they use it for building, but they don’t like the pool because there is no mud, just clean water. Are they like honey bees with faint coloring or like yellow jackets/hornets with bright yellow coloring?
well first of all bee’s will get the water without clorine in it so if you put cloring in the water they might go away .
the reason why bees love water is to drink like us and to make there hive and nest’s with
