the nearest grass is my lawn about 10 feet away and it's not been cut since last summer, some weeds are near them

If you can, take some pictures and send them to one of the moderators like Robo, and he can post them, so we can get a better look.

After you get more posts under your belt you will be able to post pictures.

I don't know if thrips would affect bees. Does anyone know?

Thrips won't bother the bees.
