Hi all
 
There are no beekeepers in the vicinity of the hotel in question, but
as it is in a pretty arid region, the hotel gardens have attracted
more than their share of honeybee colonies.
 
The things that are causing the problems are definitely honeybees;
and they come to the breakfast buffet mostly (frosted pastries,
tinned fruit, fruit juices etc), and to the desert section of the
lunch and dinner buffets.
 
Roy Nettlebeck suggests the aroma of a fabric softener works as a
repellent; will this be detectable and hence repellent to the guests
as well?
 
Any further suggestions?
 
regards
 
Mike
