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
