$1.00 a pound!!!!!!! Are they,..'organic' ants??
I can provide all the ants you want at $.50 [50 cents] a pound.
Ask beekeeping 101 is good. I use masking tape around the seams of the boxes where the feeders are. Put something STICKY around your hive stands.

Ants are easy to control. Ants live underground so to return to the colony they have to walk. Soooo just dont give them a path. Pvc cleanouts with oil in them and a two inch x 3/4 nipple in the middle of the cleanout raises your hive just out of the ants reach. to easy!

Cinnamon around your hive works great to keep out the ants...they it and it doesn't effect the bees at all.

Burdock leaf will get them out of your inner covers. Not sure if you could adopt this to your situation...Rick
