July 14, 20224 yr wow went to KI on sun/Mon and nearly all the outside drink refill station were ust overcome with bees. Several times I just too my cup and went to another station. My theory (former restaurant manager) is the nozzles are not getting cleaned and soaked overnite leaving a surface of sugar on the nozzles. Thw worst ones were the stations in the water park and at the tower. Anyone else have that problem. Went to CP on tuesda and didn't see the same problems.
July 15, 20224 yr Yeah, Saturday I noticed the drink fountains in front of the tower covered in bees.
July 15, 20224 yr I am a beekeeper. Where there is sugar water, there will be bees. Like with wasps, you don't bother them, they won't bother you. I don't think nozzle cleaning would fix it. So much is spilled that they will still be attracted to the area.
July 15, 20224 yr The bee issue with the outside fountain drinks is such a problem. It is not a good look for the park when guests go to fill their drink they just paid for and have to worry about all the bees around the drink machines. The same for the employees working these stations. Also you are drinking what ever was on the bees feet when the walked on the machine nozzles. And no one wants to get stung but what about people allergic to bee stings?
July 15, 20224 yr And always look in the cup before drinking! A lady in front of me yesterday took a big drink from her cup and got a bee in her mouth.
