Bees might ignore the trap and go to the hive. I have two in the last week that did. One was full of old comb and the other had none. Go figure. The one with comb had no bottom board. Now I am really...

You might have some lemongrass oil on you still and the bee thinks you are a queen bee. O yes another thing a watched trap never catches bees. :) good luck

The large bull ants will do this. May be a Florida thing. The ants will go in at night and raid the hive and cut the wings of the bees. I had to stay up for a few nights to see the ants do this. Now...

Goran ?

Is that the fruiting body of a fungus?

The basic hive tool is good , the old Jimmy bar. Sometimes a hard ware will have one but every one thinks you are going to pry open doors. Now I did cut the return of mine to 3.8 of an inch so I...

My two Poms put there nose in the entrance once now the bees and dogs do not brother each other. Ever so often one will come after me but not the dogs.

The easy way is to buy a six pack and get a friend to help carry it up the stairs

I find the information interesting, here in central Florida my last year notes were that the Golden rod was in full bloom at the end of October and stopped by the end of November. I looked at the...
