I seem to be having a problem with Bees I'm not sure what kind the are they
have no interest in the yellow hanging bee traps ( I did put fresh
attractant in) they seem to be attracted to the pool cover most likely going
for the salt residue. Dose anyone know of any other type of bee traps? I
don't see any nest in the area

They are thirsty , why do you need to trap them?

get a couple of bad minton rackets and do battle mano y mano to show
them they can't drink your water.

There is no such thing as a bad minton. There are only mintons that
do bad things.

Dealing with wasps or bees? No matter, they shouldn't be a bother to you
either way if they are just getting moisture(or salt).

Its summer. Get one of those cheap Badminton game sets. The racquet
is excellent for killing yellow jackets and bees. It cuts them
cleanly in half so quickly they haven't a chance to send out any alarm
signals. Its rare for any insect to escape once you swat at them.

Wow, that sounds like a great idea. Never heard of that. The wasps we
have in CA, so I've heard, give off a chemical when you kill them that
attracts the rest of the little *******s. Based on my own experience,
I'd have to say that's true. Doesn't matter how fast they die, in that
case, the swarm will be there PDQ.

Sounds like a opportunity for a major ambush on your part.
