I always sprayed bees and wasps at night back when I did it commercially and never had a problem. They are very sensitive to any spray that kills flying insects. I used one that had a straw with it like comes with a can of WD40. Honey bees are the worst when it comes to building nests in walls. Easy to kill though. Find the hole they are going in and use the straw to spray into the hole dor about 10 seconds. The problem is the honey they have stored in the nest in the wall. Without the bees fanning it with their wings to keep it cool, it will melt in the hot summer if sunlight hits the wall. Then you have an attractant for ants and other insects. It will also often melt and soak through the inside wall making a mess. Unless you can do it yourself, it can get expensive to hire a carpenter to remove part of the wall and remove the honey.

Yes, it can get expensive to remove bee hive from a wall. But, there's really no choice about doing it. Rotten honey isn't a real pleasant smell.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
