Scratch the beauty dish, switch to a white umbrella, pull the flash back 4-6 feet away from the subject if possible.. dial the power all the way down and see if that helps.

Another option is to fire the bee into a wall or the ceiling at the lowest setting... and, of course, use a meter to get the settings correct.
