So if you can't put up a temporary shelter, implement the (beer) bee trap(s). How long could it take (including -splaining the issue)?
If we would have stayed I would have had to do something (and I would be asking you about a bee trap!) but the even worse thing is I was in the process of trying to sell that house and my husband had already moved across the country, so I was working full time and trying to keep everything going by myself. Fortunately the bees moved on and the house sold. I was told later that they are required legally to provide water for the bees, which they clearly weren’t doing, but I’m not sure if that’s correct. Wish I’d had my good camera then, I could have gotten some awesome photos, the bees would ring the pond to drink, it was sort of like a sci fi movie.
