This is my first hive (2) and have been strugling with ants. Since last wk I have noticed lots of ants climbing on the hive and a few inside the hive when I inspected last wk. I put down cinnamon which helped a little. Then I put down a tarp and this helped a lot. I put down more cinnamon. Last evening I noticed the bees like the cinnamon and one bee was covered with it and having trouble moving. I also, last evening, put Tangletree on the bottom of the hive - on the 4 sticks of the frame. When I came home from work it was like a masacre. Bees stuck to the tangletree in the cinnamon. I feel so stupid and bad. My plan is to (tonight) hose off the cinnamon and scrap the dead bees off the tangletree....
