My brother is concerned that the bees may be attracted to the meat :/

Flies maybe but bees dont eat meat. Sounds like a lot of activity for a 12'x12 backyard.....pool, bees, falconry. Good luck with all that.

you don't' think that would be an issue??

if the hives are only 10' from the pool? yes, I definitlly think at some time or other over the course of the summer an issue will come up. 10' is not very far at all. your better to place those hives off in a corner somewhere as far away from the noise and splashing tht the kids are going to be doing in the pool. Then again I may be an alarmist. the bees i have right now are very passive but they say when fall approaches or during a dearth of nectar...they can get real cranky hot. What about the roof???? anywhere you can place the hives on a roof?
