I had a bee problem last year, but it was a swarm so had to get a beekeeper out. He caught all the bees and the queen. We still get the odd half a dozen or so because they like a certain tree in the backyard and the water in the pond. The swarm was just random in that the queen picked up and decided to relocate to my BBQ! The beekeeper said, they have to catch the queen to get all the bees and they take them away. Cost me $135 and much more humane and less expensive than pest control.
