Two of my hives are on a stand with four legs sitting in two inch high aluminum pans filled with motor oil. This I believe is common, but what is not common is that one of the pans is always full o dead (DROWNED ?) bees.
It is so full that the ants can walk over the bee bodys so I have to keep it cleaned out.
Obviously I have an ant problem and I am working on it. But why the dead bees in the oil??
Anybody have any ideas?? The oil is just cheap motor oil.
