Bumblebee problems

EdwardS:
Boffer arrows and slow flying bees are another fun concept.

Yea, the carpenter bees are tough. U used to help my daughter with the horses and would have the feed scoop and whack them with it. They would fly 20' after I hit them and I'd have to chase them down and step on them before they recovered or they would get back up. The traps are awesome to reduce them.

When I was a kid, I used to take my crossman pellet gun out in the morning, unloaded. Pump it up ten times and put the muzzle in the bee holes and pull the trigger. Repeat on as many holes as I could reach and I halved the population in a day.

you can hang a brown paper bag stuffed with other loosely wadded paper bags to imitate a hornets nest neat the barn where they are at and they will leave , carpenter bees and hornets do not get along.

Eric Krewson:
My new design is catching them like crazy, I made 14 from a $12 4X4 from HD, If I cut the height to 5" I could have gotten a couple more from the same piece of wood.
