Larry, I have no personal experience, but several researchers have told me
that covering the greenhouse with shadecloth helps.  This apparently makes
the greenhouse covering appear to the bees to be an obstacle, rather than a
direct path to the sky.

This problem is why bumblebees are more often used for greenhouse
pollination.

Perhaps Juanse can chime in, as he has been dealing with a similar problem
in Chile.
