We got back Saturday and didn't get bitten once, or infact see any.
Very few bees around, I think I saw possibly 5 or 6 in two weeks.
Although there are plenty of hornets to make up for them, but they just seem to go about their business and didn't bother us at all!
With regards to the mozzies we used Avon skin so soft, took a garlic pill each day and used tea tree oil shower gel, shampoo & conditioner(the last 3 my good lady used, I have no hair)

Worked a treat.
