We have had an ingound pool with one end deep enough for diving and a garden with flowers and bees for over 40 years. Bees make a beeline to anything orange and hover above, even in our swimming pool. So, our children, and now our grandchildren, know not to get an orange swimsuit for swimming at our house. Even though, our youngest grandkids are 11 and 14, we always, go outside with them. It is always fun, good conversation with them, but we are always on lifeguard duty. Who knew orange safety vests or bright yellow (which also attracts bees) also work in a swimming pool or a lake to keep kids and adults safe.
