Hi MH: Just talk to the bumble bees

In my yard we have a wasp nest, a hornets hive and a bumble bees hive. I went and visted each hive and had a good talking to each set of bees. I explained to the bees that I would let them live on the property only if they promised not to sting anyone. Then I showed them a bag of sakrete concrete and explained I would have to pour concrete on the hives if any of the bees stung anyone or hurt / stung a family member, friend or guest.
Well, 14 years later the bees and everyone are still living in harmony with NO STINGS. There was only one minor incident where the dog got too nosey and a bee stung the dog on his nose to teach him to keep his dog nose out of the bees business.
Point being, many, esp. beekeepers can communicate with bees. You just have to know the bees understand you and communicate very plain, clearly, sincerely and directly and if the requests are reasonable, the bees will listen and co operate. Bees seem to honor their agreements pretty well. We have had guests, outdoor water melon picnics, etc. and the bees have not bothered the food or stung anyone yet.
Try communicating with the bees, talk to the queen in the hive or address the workers, they tell each other what you tell them and then they all agree if its in everyones best interest. With bees, good communication works!
