We always put a bee trap outside the sukkah about a week before Sukkos starts

This is a fake bee hive and its gets rid of all the bees, they think it's a real hive and fly away!

We bought a bee trap and hang it in the sukka, it's quite decorative. you fill it with orange juice, about 2 oz. and they go in there instead of buzzing around the sukka. Once inside, they can't get out.

In toronto this year we have a big problem of wasps and bees. The radio said that to keep them away you should warm whole cloves in the microwave (or put in bowl with hot water) and they will stay away, as they hate this smell.

a cheap bee-catcher - leave an open bottle with a little grape juice, wine, or honey at the bottom in the sukka. The bees are attracted to the bait and have difficulty finding their way back out of the bottle.
