<<Since the honey bees have died off...>> Honey bees don't die off like an animal with old age. Something has to cause it. What happened?

We are going to try some kind of bee that is indigenous, can't remember the name, something like carpenter bees, they make holes in wood. A friend of mine who keeps honeybees said he would loan me a hive, but the guy next door has a swimming pool, and my friend said something about bees and swimming pools, that I also don't remember, but I think it's that the bees bother people around swimming pools. Probably try to get in their drinks. But why swimming pools and not barbecues? This guy is a little weird, so I don't know if he's just being weird or there's a reason. But the guy catty-corner to us has backyard barbecues all the time, and little kids, so if liability is a problem, it seems that would be just as great a liability. Anyway, I asked the county about regulations on keeping bees, and they said it wasn't illegal as long as they didn't present a hazard. Oh, and while I am rambling on I just remembered seeing beehives behind a house in the next block, and that I meant to knock on their door and ask if they had bees, because that would solve the problem.
