I KILLED 30 WITH A TENNIS RACKET YESTERDAY !! Why do l have MORE TODAY ?? This is a common problem. You see the bees you killed were males hovering to establish or guard a territory. (these have yellow dots on their foreheads) What was left was only the females. Now the girls are releasing a pheromone to attract a mate. This pheromone is actually drawing more bees to your location. Much better to trap them. Then both sexes are evenly trapped and you are not adding to the problem.

My Trap worked great last year. IT STOPPED WORKING! What happened??
Chances are your trap has a different resident. Either a wasp or spider is using your trap house. Remove the receptacle and take a look inside. lf you see live wasps or spiders, we suggest placing a plastic bag over your entire trap.Then you can seal the bag and place it in the freezer. Once frozen you can take a stick and clean them out. Remember freezing these insects doesn't kill them, lt makes them dormant so you can safely remove them .So remove them outside. lf you remove them in the trash in your house they will come to life when they warm up.
