“The bees are allowed to fly freely around the property”
Allowed? How does one corral them so they only fly with permission?
You put little VHF sets on them ... make them file flight plans with the FAA ... maintain contact with ATC. You know, some of them get into controlled airspace.
I have 3 hives in the back yard and my bees know not to go outside the fence and all my neighbors have been told this so if they get stung it was not one of my bees that did it.
