In case you haven't guessed it by now, I'm having a problem with bee's.

Every weekend at my brothers pool/bbq, there are dozens and dozens of bee's that come out when we start cooking. Mostly they are benign and we've been dealing with them for 3 summers, but this summer, so far, 4 people have been stung.

On Sunday, I went to the store to get some bee spray. Normally I don't like to spray bee's because I know we're having a problem with bee populations disappearing and I like to save the bee's, not hurt them.

But the situation at the pool is just crazy. They are all over the place and people are getting hurt/stung. Even the dead bee's are dangerous cause people step on them.

And we have some friends who are allergic to bee's.

So on Sunday I sprayed the general floral area where they hang out. I was alone at the pool at the time. And two minutes after I sprayed, a giant bee, that looked different than all the smaller bee's we usually get, attacked me. It stung me right on the nose. And it wasn't one of those accidental bee stings, the bee flew into me, stinger first. Ouch it hurt.

So my question is, what can I do about the bee's. Again, there is no visible hive anywhere. The spray doesn't seem to work and I can get two to three dozen of them flying around the bbq and the food. People are running inside to get away from them..

Any ideas on what I can do?
