What Did You Do Today?
PaulN/KS:
When Eric started his gizmo donations on TG there was some heated bidding on them. I was lucky enough to win one and it's proudly displayed in my shop.
Thanks for your handy invention as well as for your help in a good cause Eric. :OK
DC:
It's nice to hear that there are that many. I joined the local archery club(I'm not a joiner) to see if I could find any like minded locals and quit after two years with no luck. I know of maybe a half dozen on the Island. I'm a bit of a hermit so that may have something to do with it ;D
Eric Krewson:
Gonna' be bee trap making day, I got a doug fir 4x4 at Home Depot (good arrow wood) and will start making traps today. I will keep a few and give the rest away.
WhistlingBadger:
Do those trap honey bees or mason bees?
BowEd:
Those are carpenter bee traps.The wood eating kind of bee.Nice version of one too Eric.
Here's my version.Made from scrap pieces of lumber laying around.I've got 6 on the house.They'll catch at least a dozen in each trap through out the summer.Knock on wood...a bee has not eaten a hole into anywhere on my house for years and years.They get attatched onto the corners of a house.They do the job.
It's a half inch hole drilled upwards at an angle.3 holes.1 on each side of wooden box.Bees get tired of trying to get out and fall to the bottom.
