Safe & Effective Removal of Honey Bees from Your Pool

1. Turn off the pool pump. This will prevent the bees from getting sucked into the filter system.

2. Skim the bees out of the pool. Use a pool skimmer or net to remove as many bees as possible.

3. Treat the pool with a bee-killing insecticide. Be sure to follow the directions on the insecticide label carefully.

4. Wait for the insecticide to take effect. This may take several hours or even overnight.

5. Recirculate the pool water. This will help to remove the insecticide from the water.

6. Open the pool to swimmers.

Here are some additional tips for preventing honey bees from getting in your pool:

* Keep the pool cover closed when the pool is not in use.

* Trim any trees or shrubs that are overhanging the pool.

* Remove any flowers or other objects that may attract bees to the pool area.

* If you see a beehive near your pool, contact a pest control company to have it removed.
