Ok. For starters, everyone knows about the features of bees (which are much larger and more discernable than gnats) but the features of gnats are very hard to distinguish and only those experienced in Binomial classification know the features. Bees are not minute, and Frank does know bees well, so my point is not moot. Also, nowhere in the book does it mention Frank's ability to turn into individual insects -  he always turns into swarms. If he could turn into individual insects why didn't he, it would make things a lot more practical (especially in BoO). You might as well say Frank can turn into an amoeba and enter Jackson's body through his skin pores. Furthermore, they are not waves but blasts of water like cannons. He is not going to drown Frank but rather wound him with blasts of water (which would stop his shapeshifting ability altogether. Percy's powerful winds can just knock bees in all directions and Frank's thoughts at the time will not be on HONEY. Frank cannot separate the bees as he controls them with a collective mind but he can sting with them (this I don't get because bees die after stinging). Do you not think that Percy can follow the sound of the bees? Chrysaor's army couldn't do anything when they flew away but Percy can. So Percy will not "legit have no idea where the swarm is". Also, remember what Percy did to the gorgons in the Son of Neptune? If Frank turns into a bird of some sort Percy could grab him tightly with a fist of water, thereby wounding the relatively weak frame of the animal and stopping the shapeshifting altogether.
