Something Really Simple to have on hand: Water

I keep any large water bottles and refill them with tap water.  I keep a couple in the bee vehicle and also in each beeyard.  Here's why:

• in case of a spark or fire from the smoker
• to poor on myself to cool off
• to wash hands
• to wash the bee brush which gets stuck up with honey as I sweep the bees off the combs
• to rinse off a bee that's covered in too much honey
• to refill any water dishes set out for the bees
• to drink in case I don't have anything else with me
