Bee Trap – No Bait Required
Q: I checked out the carpenter bee trap on your website. Should you put some bait in the bottle? What makes the bees go down the hole?
A: No bait is needed. Once bees enter the drilled holes in the wood above a plastic bottle they simple keep going until they are trapped. Details on the trap at http://www.walterreeves.com/gardening-q-and-a/carpenter-bee-build-your-own-trap/.
