But part of the fun of the tennis racquet is the slicing and dicing of the bees. Although electrocuting the little bastards out of the air is appealing...

Wife had one laying on the hamper and I accidently pushed the button while holding the racket to move it. Dang thing lit me up like a christmas tree.

You are on the right track. I like to entomb them...
I like to have a little fun with them for a week or two, then its time to die:
Early one morning while they are still asleep, I get out the wood putty and fill the hole openings. Only once in many many years of doing this has a bee burrowed out.

Trap or badminton racquet. Tennis racquet will give you tennis elbow.
Traps are pretty effective. Block of wood will holes drilled in them with a plastic bottle screwed in the bottom. Get mine from my barber shop in Social Circle. They fly in can't get out.

Sevin Dust or liquid spray. Might find somebody selling "traps" but have
seen Carpenter's go right by them to bore a hole, too. If kids around that's what I'd use before the poison.

Re: LOL,also found these as suggested below..........
You can get plans for making one online. I've had one up for 3 years and never caught anything but a couple ants.

Made a simple trap here in no time...they work.
Six sided wood box (looks like a birdhouse) with a plastic mayo or p-nut jar screwed to the bottom. Two holes. I hang mine over the hole they drilled in the side of a garage wall behind some bushes.
Kinda fun to check it everyday.
