Bees need water to cool their home. They also add it to the honey.Bees go to the closest water. If your fountain is the closest water source, then the bees need more water sources. Put in a few more water sources and encourage the neighbors to do the same. It's nature and we people are in their backyard. If you don't want bees in your fountain drain the water and put a plant in it.

Why are Bee's around the water fountain?
Bees collect water everyday. They need water to help with the process of converting nectar to honey, to create wax and to quench the thirst of the thousands of bees which work in one hive. Hives are most commonly found near sources of water too, so the bees don't have to travel far for their water and also because there tends to be more flowers surrounding water.

Bees seldom sting unless you accidently land on them with a hand or bare feet. Consider yourself lucky you have them. Scientists are extremely worried about bees dying off as are beekeepers. Bees pollinate so let them be and do what they do best ... pollinate. If it bothers you locate a beekeeper and they will be happy to come and get the bees.
