My chickens would love to just sit next to this and wait for a quick snack at that hole!
An All Day Buffet for them!
thank you for giving this information i am going to use it
I keep bees but also chickens. A trap that will not make them really wet would make it easier to use them for feed like my japanese beetles traps. Any idea to do that would be very valuable to both beekeepers and chicken raisers
Absolutely!❤️🐝
I had wax moth and am going to use your trap as I don't like using any poisonous chemicals. Love it. Greetings from Australia.
🐝I hope it works out well for you. The first year I caught a bunch but the second not so many. Thanks for watching friend!👍
God bless you brother.
U have a best idea;
Tks so much;
I expect so many ideas to u;
Best of luck....
Thanks friend!
These are great fly catchers for camping too
Thanks so much. New to beekeeping n noticed worms on my bottom board. Freaked out and watching u tube. Great presentation thanks
Thank you! I really appreciate it. I believe the best way to avoid pests is always to keep a stong healthy hive. Thanks for watching!
Cool! Thank you.
Thank you
Years ago I helped with a small hive beetle study. The formula we used was very affective and brought in beetles from all over. The suggestion was to put the trap away from the hives so not to increase beetle populations in the hives.
Are you finding beetles in those traps? I can see you catching a number or pests for beehives.
I actually didn't notice any SHB in the traps because they were so full of everything. My best defence for SHB is keeping my hives strong and if I see them getting out of control I'll throw in a swiffer sheet.
Which formulas did you use? You can share with us if you don't mind
@@tayebwabenon5753 The trap was pre-baited with whatever it was they were using. Every week I received a new prebaited attractant and the beetles were sent in for counting.
All I remember (been quite a few years) that it was sticky and had a smell to it.
@@beebob1279I wish you knew that secret beetle bait because I haven't been able to attract any away from my hives sun or shade.
Thanks much, I will try this, only have 2 boxes of bees, wax moth damage one, thanks again, Jamaica
Hope it helps!
Thank you! Just lost one hive to moths, one to beetles and three to swarming!
Your very welcome! Sorry to hear about your pest problems hope it helps. The best defense against pests are strong healthy hives. If your interested in stopping a swarm I just posted a short video using tanging and a scion you may want to check out😉👍
These do work great!
Great & simple! Thank you!!
Your very welcome!
Geat idea. Tonight I see you have 94 subscribers so you are close to that 100. Keep it going.
Thank you. Can't wait to get to 100 so I can pick a winner for the GIVEAWAY!
Thanks
I'm making one right Now!
Awesome
Good Morning my friend
It sure is! :)
Fantastic solution. I will be using his next year.
Was hoping to catch a few more wasps but I'm happy with the moths it catches.
Thank you for the video and the info. Dealing with one hive full of wax moths right now. I see the larger bottle (the first one shown) has more wax moths in it. I wonder if they are attracted also to the darkness and/or limited space of the bottle sitting inside the block? Or maybe the placement of the bottle as far as height in relation to the hive boxes? Anyway, I plan to make some traps like this and get them out asap. Thank you.
❤🐝I hope they work out for you! Those are very interesting observations now you have me curious. Thanks for watching friend!🐝
Looks like a keeper in the DIY stash!
Thanks!
Does it control small hive bettles too? Thank you very much
I don't know actually but I like to use half a sheet of the unscented swiffer sheets under the lid but laying on top of the frames. They get stuck in the sheets.
@@BlanchardsBees Thank you but am from Uganda and these Swiffer are hard to get. It's like they are not there
Thanks it helps a lot
Thanks for watching!🐝
Great Idea!
Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for the info.
Hope it helps thanks for watching.
Leopard frog???
Yep seen it out walking
I didn't know you could put them next to the hives. I thought you had to hang them up
First off thanks for the sub and welcome to the family!🐝Yeah I guess some would think it would attract more pest to the hives but I was just playing with it and it seemed to work well for me. Hope your doing well and thanks for stopping by!
I'm sure this method works. Why do you set them in your apiary instead of fifty yards away, so not to draw mothsto your hives? Just curious
That's just where I put some of them. The smell of a hive will attract pest reguardless if there is a trap there or not. I don't even use them anymore as I learned a strong hive is your best defense against hive pests.
I agree to a strong hive. I just put all my pest traps away from my hives. Yellow jackets are my worst problem.
@@jamescraig8601 something you don't see in the video are the others I had set across the yard. You can see one in the thumbnail which was approx 50 yards away.
Good deal. Personally I just learned when I keep the traps a distance away. I get fewer yellow jackets robbing than if I set the traps in amongst the hives. Just my personal observation. To each their own. Good luck fellow beek.
@@jamescraig8601 hate those devil bugs. They were bad here last here. Thanks for stopping by friend🐝
How do the bees know not to go in? I guess they are heading straight to the entrance of the hive with stores so don't have interest ?
They are amazing creatures and are smarter than a lot of people give credit. I imagine it might be the high amount of vinegar but that's just my opinion.
@@BlanchardsBees I'll definitely keep the method and recipie in mind. I started keeping bees this year attracting 4 swarms. 2 arrived in April on the same day and then another 2 arrived in June on the same day. We have 2 langstroth all midis and 2 layens deeps. All seemingly doing great still. They have been all over the loquat and passion flower this month. I live in southern Spain near to Granada. Natural beekeeping without chemical intervention. I haven't taken any honey this year, just letting them build up with intention of doing 2 splits in the spring.
@Goggles1 that's awesome to hear. Its fun catching swarms. I definitely wish you the best of luck with your bees. Sounds like you have great goals in mind🐝🐝
@@BlanchardsBees Thanks for the well wishes. We had a beekeeper a few hundred yards away. I counted about 25 hives and swarms of bees with my binoculars. We likey borrowed some of his bees? Interestingly in August he removed all his hives. Maybe he's renting them for pollination, I'm not sure as I've not met him yet or seen him kicking around. It was a great help and perfect timing for us non the less. Hopefully we can repay the favour if ours choose to flee the nest.
@Goggles1 it's very likely you did. Appreciate you taking the time to check out my channel as well!
do bees ever get trapped by this?
@@rohumco1403 I haven't had any issues
❤️🇺🇸
Sir do, do the trap attack the honey bees?
That's a good question that I forgot to mention. It sure doesn't. I haven't seen a singal honeybee in there which is a very good thing. Thanks for watching & if you want to get in on my giveaway check out my video before this one :)
@@BlanchardsBees Thank you for answering this. That had been my question as well, as to if the sugar water would attract the bees as well, or if the inclusion of the vinegar maybe deters the bees?
@@khione8044 yeah I believe the vinegar plays a big role in it.
@@BlanchardsBees Thanks!
if this was a joke its not too funny all this did was trap and kill my bees
That's very unfortunate to hear! Did you mix ALL the ingredients properly? I've never had a problem but always a better solution is to just keep strong healthy colonies. Hope you can recover from your losses.
