Subject: honey bees at my fountain & hummer feeder<br>
<br>
Message Body:<br>
Hello Bee people<br>
I have a situation with some honey bees coming to my backyard fountain and hummingbird feeder. There have consistently been 50-100 or so bees on my fountain most of the day. In addition they have taken over my hummingbird feeder to the point where the hummers cannot drink there any longer. I like bees but my husband is allergic to their sting and my dog is getting a bit too interested in this many bees milling around. I know there are several neighbors with hives so they are likely traveling around Blackpoint in Novato where I live. I suppose I should turn the fountain off and take the feeder down to deter them. But I'm curious why so many are hanging around? Also, I suspect they would still come to the fountain unless we drain it and that would likely ruin the wine barrel's integrity. Can you give me any advice?<br>
thank you <br>
