Like all animals, bees need to drink. They will also take water back to the hive for the other bees.
They don't like water!
They look for a source of water.
mostly the reson bees are by the pool is because you have flowers that attract them. find that flower and maybe do something about it.
With either a skimming net or get an effective floating pool skimmer

You can't unless you have an indoor pool or a fully covered and screened pool. You can reduce the attractiveness of the place to bees and wasps by ensuring the sweat drinks (kool-aid, fruit juices, soft drinks, etc.) are not left out, and that fatty foods like meat scraps are present only for a short time and are cleand up promptly and put in closed containers. (Some wasps like fatty foods; some wasps and bees like sugary liquids.
yes you can use bug spay the clean you pool just encase
Heck yes! They bite.. we have sweat bees all in our swimming pool... they hurt.. and are one of the problems of summer:(
Bees do need to collect water, for drinking and to cool the hive. They are not especially attracted to salt water.
I like bees
Male bees are the big, fuzzy bees without stingers.
No. Bees, like all insects, are invertebrates
Out in san diego, it has to do with nearbye ground covers. the only ground cover that provides little or reduced "bee action" is gardina and vinca, red apple is the worst, if that is within 200-300 yards of your pool= lots of bees!! My pool is in Arizona(Phoenix/west valley) and I've never had a problem with bees. Must be something in your area attracting them. They could be Arizona Honey Bees or Africanized Honey Bees. In the Mojave Desert where I live (Quartzsite-ish), they will gather around any place that has water available, like a dripping faucet or a swimming pool. 99% of all bees in Arizona are in fact Africanized Honey Bees. Don't be too alarmed. They are probably just getting moisture and returning it back to their hive. you want to just let them be...unless you notice that they have established a hive on your property.

No, bees are not warm blooded. Like all insects, bees are cold blooded.
