Are they honeybees or carpenter bees? If honeybees, call a local beekeeper/apiary to come remove them. If carpenter bees are making holes in you pergola, I would suggest putting out some carpenter bee traps..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RHtEOQj4yoHelpful Reply -

do you know what kind they are? Carpenter bees are attracted to wood and can do a lot of damage to your pergola. Putting fresh varnish on will make them leave as they only like natural wood.Helpful Reply -

I've read that dryer sheets keep bees out of an RV, so I'm sure it would work to keep them out of your pergola, as well.Helpful Reply -

wood borer / carpenter bees are a nuisance for sure - build a trap -- they work! https://www.myfrugalhome.com/how-to-build-a-carpenter-bee-trap/Helpful Reply -
