Uh Oh. Now what, they have filled the whole pot already.

Went to check the swarm trap that had a swarm move into earlier. They have filled the whole dang pot already,

How do you ever get bored with this stuff?

Wow Yankee! Super Cool Pics!

Is that lemongrass oil and a pheromone strip in there?

[Yankee11]

I melted an old piece of comb and stuck it to the top. The I cut about a 2inch piece of a drinking straw and stuffed cotton in it then put lemongrass oit i straw. Let it wick through the cotton.

I love the straw/cotton/lemon grass idea!

[blueblood]

Yeap, good ideas! Plans to transfer?

[Bamabww]

Wow! good pictures. Good luck. All mine are still empty.

One thing about those pots Yank..  you will be a cut out expert in no time using them!!    Outstanding idea on the straw and cotton.. I may have to give that a go!

[Yankee11]

I think I am going to remove the piece of plywood and set the pot on top of a deep of frames and draw the queen out. then put a excluder between
the pot and the deep.

I want to keep the comb in tact and then put a piece of plexiglass over the pot. Use it to let people see the natural comb. Display, if you will.

I also have a ice chest I am gonna try the same with.

Thought it might be a good attraction at a farmers market table.

[Bamabww]

Good idea. I saved the gourd the bees lived in all winter for a similar purpose.

[G3farms]

Might want to spray a little BT on the display combs.

[Yankee11]

Good idea.

 I'll spray them.
