Have you ever seen honey bees drinking water?

Question

If you have....where was it ? and what were the circumstances?

Answer 1

Yep. There's a honeybee hive in my area and if you sit next to the little pond in my mom's back yard, they'll come in, land on the lilly pads or the edge of the pond (it's a plastic preformed pond) and drink... also in the birdbaths and plants that have just been watered.
