Default Question- Wood bees and firewood

Ok, how do others handle this?

I have about 1 cord in my backyard. It's the season to have a bee problem
and they like that area. Since I fully plan to burn this wood in the
fireplace next winter, I cant just spray it with pesticides. I do not have
a shed.

I was thinking to spray a plastic tarp, then put this over the wood.



I can't think of any pesticide that would not be completely gone after
10-30 days. A spray bottle of warm soapy water will work with a
direct hit. A handful of mothballs under the tarp will keep them away
for several months.
