Do not use flowering plants on the patio. We need as many bees as we can get, yet understand they may be bothersome to some people. Another option is a fan. Any flying pests do not like wind and will go elsewhere.
While scent is the easiest way to attract these unwanted guests, it's also the easiest deterrent! Simply incorporate scents that humans find pleasant and bees find repulsive. Some of these off-putting fragrances are peppermint, spearmint, eucalyptus, and thyme.
Have the bees started a nest? If they are bees rather then wasps, there may be a local bee keeper that will come move them for you. If they are wasps or hornets, spray there nest with wasp killer. Do it late in the evening...
Depends on what kind of bee. If they are by chance honeybee's do not kill them. If any other bee use a spray you can get in any Home Improvement store. Spray at night when they are all in the next. Wait a few days and knock down nest. If you don't know what you are looking at look up bees and wasps online. Although some bees other than honeybees are helpful pollinators they can also be pests when too close to your living space. Call a honeybee specialist if that is what you have to relocate the hive. More likely wasps on the porch.
Hi Tonka, just so nobody gets stung and the bees get properly removed, you should call in an expert, this should also ensure all the bees are truly gone.
Thank you to all the friendly answers!!! Yes they are honey bees, that's why I did not want to kill them, but they already build a huge nest under the wooden deck of a tiki bar in the patio, and they are like hundreds!!!
I have contacted a local guy who is coming tomorrow to take them with him.
I would like to know how to get rid those pesty little sink/drain flies. I've tried baking soda and vinegar, drain cleaners and put plastic over the drains.

Hi! If they are honey bees, get a local beekeeper to remove them safely. Good luck!

Please call and have them removed by a beekeeper. Bees are struggling.
Are they actually bees or are they wasps? If they are wasps you can set up traps. If it’s bees just remove flowering plants from the sitting area
