How to combat the bees and other unwanted bugs

Hey, my question goes out to brides whom already had an outdoor wedding or are planning one. How did you/do you plan to combat the bees for your outdoor wedding?


My wedding is next June and depending on restrictions or even the comfort of our guests we may have our wedding completely outdoors. We are nervous about bees. My venue, to keep their doors opened during the restrictions on indoor services opened a restaurant using their in house caterer. They utilized their outdoor garden space for their restaurant as well as weddings. My family and I recently had brunch there at the beginning of the month and the bees were swarming the second our drinks came. Long story short, brunch was cut way short. As me and my sister and mother are very afraid of bees. This has me concerned for the very real possibility of having our wedding outdoors as we have real flowers and cocktails will be served. Is there anyway to combat this?
At the moment my venue is allowed to have indoor weddings/receptions 50 or less ppl, but if cases go up that can reverse so there’s a knowing if my wedding will be outside or inside and even if we can be inside, my guests may prefer to be outdoors, so we just want to plan for that very real possibility
