How to keep bees out of canned beverages?
I drink canned beverages when I'm gardening and camping.
I know several people who have ended up in the hospital due to swallowing bees that were stuck in their beverage (stung in the mouth).
How do I keep bees out of canned beverages, without sacrificing much convenience?

With sweetened beverages, they will come. A cup with a lid/straw may help, but then they will swarm the tip of the straw. Drink just water, use a hydroflask type think, drink it quickly, ...

Just reading the prior comments, I think you would do better to re-purpose this question. Your real dilemma is not keeping the bees out, but avoiding the consequences. In which case, the answer is either straw, or pour the liquid from the can to a bottle with a screw top.

You vill have to sacrifice some convenience. I suggest inverting a wide-mouthed plastic cup as a barrier over the can. Remove the cup when you want to drink, drink from the can, and then immediately replace the cup. Eventually you will drop or knock over the cup. Wipe with the cleanest thing you have available and replace. A little dirt won't harm you. Cheers!
