Your pond is probably their only conveniant water source. Make them a
mud patch of their own away from your pond .

Let me understand. Are you a frog yourself?

I guess not.

First, unless your allergic, getting stung by a bee isn't nearly as
bad as I thought it was. I didn't get stung until I was 27, nad it
wasn't bad, and that was inside my mouth, my cheek. He flew in while
I was eating. It only hurt for about 10 minutes and not much even
then. I used to be so scared but now I let them fly around me when
thy're around and I hven't been stung again in 35 years.
For some reason this occurs to me. I haven't tried it. How about a
vacuum cleaner with a hose. Hold the hose near them and suck them in.
Rubber band a cover over the hose before turning off the vaccum. Later
take the vacuum far away and take the cover off the hose. Or suck up
something to kill them, but there is a shortage of bees these days.
Hive Disappearnace Syndrome. OTOH, maybe not where you live and it's
not like they're going to ride the rails looking for work in
California.
