Hi All/Nick
 
Nick - you mentioned a problem with bees nibbling a recreational
vehicles putty - and that you needed a repellant.
 
I would recomment anything with diethytoluamide. I have noticed that
this insect repellant has a very interesting effect. It does not seem
to stop bees landing on things - they land and fly and land and fly
in an agitated way, but when they get back to the hive they will be
stung to death.
 
We have products here, called Tabbard, Peaceful Sleep and such that
contain it.
 
Hope that helps.
 
Keep well
