Last year, I had this problem at my new house.
I took a tub we had removed during the remodel and placed it between the
bees and the pool and used cedar shakes as the landing platforms on the
water surface. A medium frame of honey was suspended over the tub as a
sacrificial lure. Within a couple of days, the honey was gone and the bees
were trained to use the tub. I add a cup of bleach every 2 weeks, to keep
the bees happy and the mosquito larva dead.
