I had read about a cheap and easy way to make a bee trap (ahem, loz!!!
)!
You take a 2 liter plastic soda bottle.
Cut the top off at the top of the label - the top then looks like a funnel.
Take the label off.
Insert the top upside down into the bottom part - I then staple the 2 pieces together so they stay.
Pour some sweet liquid into the bottle - it can be some of the hummer nectar, some soda works well, sweetened ice tea - you get the idea.
Be sure to leave a couple of inches below the bottle top - if you fill it too high, the bees will be able to get back out.
The bees go into the bottle but cannot fly back out!
It's amazing how well this free trap works!!!
(I haven't had a bee problem on my feeders this year, or I'd take a picture of a trap - haven't needed one... yet!)
