I found a little health food store along my travels today and picked up an ounce of Lemongrass Oil for $5.40 tax and all...so of course now I want to mess around with the stuff. Somewhere on this forum, I read that to check if a site is suitable to place a bait hive one should place a feeder with a few drops of LGO on it and after a determined amount of time check for activity. Does anyone have additional info on this? I have thought to try a test case with my hives..that is to place a feeder 200 yrds away on a day the bees are active and see how long it takes to see activity...Is it a worth while endevor or am I just reinventing the wheel? (Is there a known distance/time corolation already) If not, would anybody else be interested in running the same test and comparing notes? I could use a chick feeder (base is red, that might help) with 1:1 and 2-3 drops LGO on top. What do you think, good, bad, suggestions?
