u/Admirable-Repeat-360 — reddlx

Hello! A neighbor a few houses down has tons of boxes of bees. Right around this time every year, they make their way to our salt water pool and we cannot get rid of them. There are quite literally 50-100 at a given time. We have been stung multiple times and now have a child.

It is so severe that we are not able to use our pool or enjoy our backyard and it's extremely unfair as it was not our choice to have bees.

I have made contact with the neighbor and they believe they are doing everything right but is this "normal" and do I have any rights given they are a nuissance and safety issue to my property?

We have spent hundreds of dollars each summer on new ways to deter them, to no avail.

Looking for any suggestions or information, thank you!

Hello! I have a salt water pool and ever since moving into our home, honey bees swarm it all season. We've been stung and the amount of bees is so excessive we literally cannot use the pool! A neighbor a few houses down keeps honey bees so that is where they are likely coming from, We have already been in contact and they are pretty defensive and say they are doing nothing wrong. I digress.

Does anyone have some DIY ideas of how we could create a barrier to physically prevent them from coming to the pool? We have tried all the sprays, scents etc and nothing has worked! Picture of current set up below.

I know a lanai the best option but that runs you about 75k and is not an option.

Appreciate any ideas or insight, thank you!

Signed,
A family who just wants to use their pool!
