HONEY BEES

[MiniflockMom]

I have the small honey bees in and around my feeders. The flock does not seem to be bothered but I would like them to move on. Is this something anyone else has dealt with successfully? I have read bee protein powder away from the coop might help. TIA!

It might....or maybe another feed and water source away from your coop.
Is there someone with hives near you?

Not that I'm aware of we have these bees usually in spring then they move on. Now they are back looking for water and protein I guess.

We have loads around ours as well. It in our case I suppose it’s a bit more intentional as we have our own hive.

just leave them alone and they will be fine. If they really drive you nuts maybe screen if the area or put another water source that is more convenient for them.
