Give the bees a chance, also try no to spray the flowers with any kind of
"bug" killer.
Poisions get brought back to the haive and can cause more damage then one
bee dying. I have had whole hives wiped out because of one farmer's
spraying techniques. Remember suash, cukes, and others in that family
"need" bees, and other insects to pollinate them. Clear flight paths also
help, so if you can provide them with visual sight of the patch that helps.
Hope I have been some aid in this if not to you to the bees.
